I'm not sure if they are preparing a 500series type 1176, but OSA are releasing some compressors. There "IGM" compressor is due towards the end of august... Its a VCA based compressor that has a sound that belongs in the SSL Quad, DBX 160 VU, Distressor type family... according to Mr Eldred anyway. I have never heard one...

the 500series format seems to be a great expandable system either way. There are modules from API, OSA & Purple that cover a lot of ground sonically speaking... and Tonelux are releasing a 500series adapter so you can retrofit there modules into a 500series frame i beleive... or maybe its to fit 500 series modules in a tonelux frame... i can't remember...
