Digi was talking about a whole new mixer with saturation built in at every summing node, ie; every aux, master, bus, etc... would saturate to some point before clipping, rather than sound progressively the same and then turn to shit in an instant as they do now.
The 'problem' with Analog Channel is that with the current mixer it's always placed after summing. It just doesn't feel the same. I think the plan here would be to get the saturation/transfer curve in front of the summing. Digi said the math and processing power involved to do all that shit around the mixer in realtime is insane. But of course anything is possible if the customer base is willing to shell out the $$$$.
I had heard before that modeled mixers were in the works up there, but last night they poo-poo'd it in terms of practicality. Could be just trying to throw us off, or set us up to pay through the nose to get it.
