Also, no CMD controller will use HID while I'm at Behringer. It's not the right protocol for them, and there's no compelling reason to implement it. If there was a standardized HID implementation accessible to all hardware manufacturers, I might reconsider. But right now, there is no benefit to using HID for the CMD controllers. It gives me no better performance than I'm getting with MIDI, and it limits their software compatibility.
that's the key thing... no standardlised hid packet format. personally i can only really see the benefit of hid on a device that can display text or something, or to get extra resolution out of the pots. no benefit at all for the PL-1, especially as it's using 14bit for the pitch fader and hid would require a world of pain in creating mappings for each specific dj app that supported custom hid mapping.
