(obviously this second request is not an easy one)

I'm still considering the matrix console if there was a matrix with 24 or even 32 channels I would take it I was hoping this new unit would matrix-ise the 900, but it does not seem to be that..

What I asked, (and I'm sure a lot of people too), was that I felt unfair that a $21k dls matrix had this system and a Duality console doesn't, so I remember then in San Francisco 2 years ago, there was like 50 or 60 Duality and AWS owners in that dinner, and the SSL designers and executives allowed us to make petitions and wish lists, mine was this, an automated patch bay for our Dualitys.

The system can handle 6 patchbays together, that's what I pretend to get for my mix rig.

Best regards.
