Unless I'm missing something, it's just an I/O box for protools?
I looked at digi's site and didn't see anything about hardware
DSP with this box.
OTOH, the Plugzilla box can run totally standalone.
That's a lot more attractive for live use.
But still hard to justify $3000.
Maybe if I was a gigging keyboardist or something.
What I'd really like is a portable road-hardened box that
could run PD patches (without GUI), LADSPA plugins, and
SAOL orcs. That would really rock.
For adding new patches, hook it up to a computer via usb or firewire or
ethernet, whatever's cheapest to implement.
