For use with the ProBox, the console only needs to get power from the CPU part of the system. Then you can use your D8B like a 24 channel MIDI controller. Just like getting a "Mackie Control Universal" and two "Mackie Control Extenders".
If that's not useful to you, yrvin, then maybe it would be to whoever you would sell your D8B to. You could try to sell it with that argument
So, it's not "useless" in it's current state. Personally, I'd probably get a ProBox myself, and use the D8B as a controller, while taking my time to figure out what is wrong that prevents you from using your D8B as a mixer.
Maybe that's not what you were looking for... but I use my D8Bs as MIDI controllers (via ProBox), AND as digital mixers. But I think I'd still keep at least one of them, if they'd only work as a MIDI controller
Thanks so much for so useful information. I'll try to do this soon. There is one more question: where can I get ProBox and how much does it cost?
