How about this for a "Dream setup", using the X32 and the new Core's...
If the core's are allowed to be able to copy mixes or channel settings from other consoles in the system (over the network), and also given the ability to link the mutes with other consoles (like the FOH console), we could have an incredible system available.
X32 at FOH, a rack of multiple Core's: each core runs someone's personal monitor mix, controlled with an IPad). This gives each IEM total control, everything you can do for FOH - now available for each musician independently. The ability to copy mix settings from other mixers or the house console would be critical to increase initial setup speed, and mute control over other mixers in the system driven from the FOH console would also be a must, but the hardware design is there, it's just now a matter of programming at this point! The idea is a little like "SAC", but more hardware based, scaleable, and more open to other control systems (other than just mouse control, thru OSC control).
Now, add the future ability of the Core getting modified into a DSP, toss in a S16 modified to add 24 analog outs on phoenix connectors and possibly digital cards for other output options, and now we're talking about an interesting setup... All driven over AES50.
What do you think?
