Nick Huston opens up the 888 and looks at how it fits into the 8-series with the 833 and the Scorpio. * 833: www.gothamsoun... * 888: www.gothamsoun... * Scorpio: www.gothamsoun...
Not as far as we know. The star button functions seem to be limited to Shortcut with PFL switch to access channels 9 through 16, soft buttons for menus, and mappable functions via the Toggle Switch Action menu, which alas, "Increment Slate Number" is not included.
Because it isn't needed! Would see very little usage in this niche. Although I suspect Sound Devices has it on their "to do list" to support in a future firmware update, but likely is very very low down their priority list. (and rightly so, there are MANY other things I'd like to see come out in a firmware update first before than 32bit!)
