so far no issues, very smooth, especially the 64-bit version which was a HUGE plus! Thank you to the the team and devs who put forth the effort! Good product! :cool:

:eek: guess we are still waiting on a 64 bit driver for the U-Mix Control pro2 ,, other than that looking good :eek: maybe a updated official MIDI map for controller :?: :idea: :cool:

This makes me a little :(

Although I have no idea whether I'll see a drastic performance improvement when it arrives.

64-bit will have some improvement. But only at some moments. You need to do things that Cross the limits of 32-bit memory usage > 3.5gb or have a calculation that may have some benefit of a larger block per cycle.
The latter will only work (generally) if code has been rewritten to use the 64-bit options, as the devteam did.
In Cross functions it will be somewhat hard to notice difference in terms of 'faster'. You likely find out that limitations shifted. Mainly with video Cross stressed the CPU to a level that one would go to the max. You now can e.g. use more video functions without noticable freezes.
So it will be quite a challenge to find out. Especially because the team optimized many processes which make it close to impossible to compare new to old. You really would have to take the effort to compare 3.3 32 with 3.3 64....
