Now that Emote is working on a Windows box, I have a real question — Does Eventide plan on adding an additional 8 analog I/O’s as an expansion card or are the expansions reserved for purely digital I/O?

Yes, we’re planning it, but no schedule as yet.   It would be good to know what your specific requirements are, actually.

I would love to to see as many I/O on Trs I guess maybe the db-25 format for space to connection ratio.  At Least 8 ins and 8 outs would be a good option to start
