If it ever comes here is my recommendation:
a connector port on the pci-ex card to integrate real analog components through an external hosting box. naming could be ASM - Analog Scope modules.
The creamware system with its 0-latency is the only system that could really integrate best of analog world into the digital scope world.
Think about being able to load a real anlog filter into modularIII with the ease of a digital visualized module.
The ASM rack host box would be some kind of extention for the scopeII card. You can buy it but you don`t have to.
If you buy it you can decide depending on money you have how many and which modules you will like to buy.
For example just two filters.
Now the devices you have bought appear as mod modules but also in all flexible filter host slots of the new scopeII synths.
For example you could switch the Prodyssey internal filter to the a real analog if you bought one.
If you reach the maximum number of analog filters/polyphony in your virtual synth, than the system gives you an notfication and switches to the digital ones.
I think this idea would pretty much add to the scope idea of being extremly flexible and finally Scope is the only system that could work with such an idea without problem due to its great architecture.
Finally it does not have to be manufactured at the very beginning of a scope II development.
There just needs to be a well-though specification of the cable connector for such a rack slot unit.
This would also be a unique feature not availbale yet in this form and could attrack serious well-paying customers.
Another advantage would be that you could save your real analog modular patches or mixed analog-digital hypbrid patches in the same way as a a pure digital patch.
Think about it, the sound of nalaog + the flexibility of digital.
saving a patch is as easy as it ever was.
and so on.
The ASM modular hardware modules could be cheaply made in plastic cases to keep cost low and there would not be the need for knobs and that stuff, as controlling is doe by the ASM rack controller and the scope software.
So the modules are digital controlled analog parts.
This would hit the nail I think of what people think about an innovative product.
Its just an idea but I wanna mention it if there is something in devlopment this could be considered for implementaion. And it would be THE attracvtion point to buy a dsp based system in worlds of quad cores.
It could look like this:
