That's it. But, there you have to design such a new board providing a smart feature compromise to make it a successfull expansion product.Bud Weiser wrote: What about a small box incl. the MADI electronics of the A16mkII on a small circuit board and w/ a D-SUB25 connector to the XTDM bus connector of XITE-1/ 1D ?
It looks like MADI would be a good idea there, maybe a kind of cutdown size A16 MK II with more MIDI I/O and no direct audio I/O except for ADAT ports for example but no analog part.
- Providing MADI interface for the Xite-1 would allow to expand the Xite-1 I/O buy adding one or more A16 MK II.
- Integrating an additionnal set of 16 ADAT I/O could be a good idea as tyhis would allow to re-use other third party analog front end interface to get some specific pre-amps for example
- Integrating some MIDI I/O port would aloow to go beyond the limitation of the lonesone MIDI trio available on Xite-1 without the need to buy one extra A16 Mk II unit each time you wish to have one additionnal MIDI trio.
- Wordclock to sync all that stuff
What would you pay for such an interface providing XTDM bridge to MADI + 16 ADAT I/O + 4 MIDI I/O ?
