You guys are really picking my brains here! A couple of thoughts…
These are the components/products/features I think we need to come up with:
VCA TO DAW and DAW to VCA
- turning VCA-Fader Voltages into data that ANY DAW can read, preferable via TCIP
and vice versa of course:
- turning DAW controller data into VCA Voltages
TOTAL RECALL to DAW
- sending Total Recall Data into a DAW by using a Control Surface Protocol
- designing a AU / VST / AAX GUI that receives the total recall data and allows us to use the PlugIn Library Functions of a DAW to store full channels as plug-in patches, so the user can build a library of his favorite channel settings.
Obviously with these features we DO NOT NEED to invent any recorder for the automation as everybody is using their favorite DAW for this purpose. It would also allow people to control their DAW tracks with the VCA Faders, pretty much like on a Duality. My point is, why invent another recorder, when there are thousands out there and everybody already has their favorite one. Same for the Total Recall Data. Let us just NOT write another library software - Logic Pro, for example, is excellent at this, and all we need to do is write a DAW plug-in (with no audio functions or audio passing thru) that receives the controller data. The DAW user could also put our Plug-in at the end of his DAW plug-in chain and store the Recall at EXACTLY the place where the Console Channel is in his audio chain.
These would be an essential "extra" to keep the "feel" of the console:
- Interface for the build in Computer Keyboards, Funtion Keys, Transport etc. (both E and G-Series compatible) which - again - translates to a Control Surface Protocol.
I guess my main point is, let's ONLY develop what is needed and not come up with any redundant stuff.

anything can be done
it's just a matter of time
due to the footprint of the ribbons the box will have a certain size anyway
if there's a way to output voltages with a beagle board or sthg similar without the need of sample&hold circuits that would be awesome!
maybe we could use an lcd controller? i think these use s&h on every dot
i totally agree Marc!

TOTAL RECALL to DAW:
i did some packet sniffing on digidesigns pro control (ethernet) which would be ideal for pro tools
it would make already large sessions into extremely large ones, though
