[QUOTE="Guy Graham, post: 116798, member: 1944"] Re: New Midas M32 Console I think a trick Midas so far have missed with all the fancy Bentley-derived industrial design, would be to add to the frame a point where a mounting bracket could be securely attached, to allow customers to use a computer monitor, similar to how screens are attached to some Avid and Digico consoles. The display would use a standard connection, wired to the desk. Then I can't see why it would be complicated for the user to choose whether the screen either mirrors the smaller one on the desk (very handy for outdoors in the sun) or the X Control/iPad app display - depending on what was remotely controlling the console. If they were very generous they could even add the option of a dedicated metering display, giving a nice overview of levels (and preferably a choice of other useful info). I think with digital desks 32+ channels is around the number where a layout of metering giving you a picture of all the I/O at a glance becomes really handy. I've often thought adding the facility to attach your own screen to any of the small format digital desks would be a smart addition for a relatively small cost. Even if no new specific screen display was provided (which presumably would be the cheapest way) it would be handy to simply mirror and enlarge either/or the existing small console screen, and the iPad screen (or whatever remote control device was linked up). Given the emphasis/marketing puff Midas have publicised in respect of the new "industrial design" aspect of the M32 - it would be nice if some part of that includes some genuine functionality improvement. They could even include screen mounting brackets, in keeping with the rest of the stylish exterior. To my mind - if they added this kind of useful new feature, an improvement and addition to the underlying X32 architecture - it would show a tangible increase in practical functionality. It would show smart technical progression beyond better pres and faders, which could de-emphasise the "X32 in Midas drag" impression with which some have negatively characterised the M32. Looking at the wish list/feature creep others have produced, some of which could be prohibitively expensive - this idea in it's simplest implementation seems quite realistic cost-wise by comparison.
