re: X32 Discussion
Yes, perfect, base it on the S16 as I/O module, make it modular with bus sharing and a communication protocol that allows scene and setup control through the whole system, make the necessary upgrades to the X32 firmware to work as a control surface for a larger system, and hey presto, the sky is the limit.
With a modular approach and bus sharing, (could just be a ribbon on the back) you wouldn't necessarily have to put any significant I/O on the processor box, you could have a I/O module that contains FiWi, AES/EBU and what have you.
A modular system that supports both an incremental build and "positive" redundancy must surely appeal both to the traditional Behringer customer, the hobbyist with limited funds that expands the system gradually, and the more professional users that are able to make a full system purchase at once but still want the modularity and redundancy that such a system approach offer.
