Hello Antoni,
To clarify, earlier in this same thread you asked me:

... and my reply was:

The main reasons to upgrade it would be if it was no longer compatible with current computer platforms (operating systems, hardware, drivers, etc.), or if you wanted more audio output channels for driving additional speakers.
I'm not aware of anywhere on the Hauptwerk website that lists the Presonus FP10 as recommend or supported. The Hauptwerk documentation on the website:
https://www.hauptwerk.com/documentation/https://www.hauptwerk.com/requirements/... says:

• PreSonus Thunderbolt and USB interfaces.
• M-Audio USB interfaces.
Did you find something somewhere else on the website mentioning the FP10 specifically? Where if so?

I guess 10.14 is later.
I'll play it safe and call PreSonus and make sure.
10.14 is indeed later than 10.5, but they would probably have written that when 10.5 was current and when they still made and supported the FP10, so it may well no longer apply, especially given that they later said that 10.8 was not supported with it:
