[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 99812, member: 2121"] Re: X32 Discussion Actually, if you think about it, X64 is a more practical approach. Take the X32, change the software to allow access to both AES50-A and AES50-B simultaneously (that's your 64 channels instantly) and add some hardware. That would be a few buttons, to allow for selection of layers 33-48 and 49-64 and some internal stuff (i.e. double the processing power to cater for the doubled channel count). OK it's never that simple. Ever tried adding a second CPU to your laptop or PC? A new mobo would need designing and building. Then ditch the on-board pre-amps, as connection would be made with one of the four S16's connected on the stage end. The basic workflow would stay the same, as would the general layout (why create work when there's nothing overly wrong with the current design?), which should keep the costs down. This reduces the actual desk to little more than a remote control unit for the stageboxes (hello iLive....), but keeps the overall format the same. Then again, why not just add another 16 faders and have 32 channels available on one layer, etc....? Karl. P.S. I want the moon on a stick as well! [/QUOTE]
