I hope this is in the right place, I'm new to this forum and new to d8b. (picked one up today for a STUPID price) What (if any) features might be retained from the original console that could enhance this already radical project?!
I'll start:
Monitor Section:
I don't know if the the signal path of the monitoring section was any good to begin with, but it sure would be nice if we could use it! You know, Mains, Near Fields, etc. Did your firmware kill all functionality of those buttons/control? It would be cool if we could send signal in (Tape A, etc.) and utilize some of the routing features on this guy, totally separate from the DAW control. Can the "non-MCU" buttons in your soft/firmware be programmed/decoupled/used to work with the existing hardware routing? This would add HUGE value.
Cheers for hacking this. I'm sure I'll become one of your first-run of customers, ethically stoked for pushing money in your pocket for filling a much-needed gap in the market. Thank you.
