Two subjects here: Digital Recall of Analog Interface settings and, specifically the NG500 chassis (WES Audio only?)
Have you used and/or have an opinion on NG500 chassis and/or digital recall of analog module interface settings? Since I've not yet acquired a 500-series chassis and would like to, I think it would be a fine way to begin if NG500 is going to have some industry adoption.
My mind is wandering to serial communications channels, some scheme for addressing individual chassis units, and MUX/digital register-controlled resistor ladders with rotary switches and LEDs replacing all pots.
This seems like an area that is just starting and would be rich with DIY possibilities. As a segue, the attached photo of this point-to-point wired innerTUBE Audio tube preamp is already sporting a digital man/machine interface albeit one of the early forms.
My main concern would be keeping the analog free of unintended digital side effects to capture settings and reproduce control voltages since one cannot observe the universe without changing it.
Should I be looking at standards like NG500 or whatever non-hw-specific standard that uses? What are those standards beyond MIDI? USB? Serial? Parallel?
