So, I took the core of the board. I had to expand it to 24 channels which the 56301's serial ports couldn't handle, so I made my own serial ports with an Altera FPGA, that converted to the bus Mackie used for their I/O cards from the digital 8-bus. I took our Macintosh software, which was formatted as a lovely little SDK, and extended it to 24 channels.
One of the nice things about that DSP code and the API is that it supported bidirectional scrubbing and crossfaded punch-ins. Perfect for a hard disk editor! So Bob's team and I were able to quickly get a recorder with some really great features.
I also put on some BNC's for word clock, using my combo digital/analog PLL circuit, and a 1/4" LTC I/O. The most fun of the project (besides hanging out on Greg Mackie's boat!) was developing the DSP code LTC reader/generator, that could lock the sample clock to any LTC rate.
