FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
It is absolutely insane to think of the tens of thousands of dollars spent on HDX cards and Avid interfaces that are limited to 256 voices, when you can spend a thousand dollars on UAD Apollo twin and get 384 voices - 50% more than a HDX user!
Avid.... time to step up on this one... this is a complete scam. You are literally punishing your most valuable customers! 384 should be the MINIMUM... why not 512? Surely you can do that if a native thunderbolt interface can provide 384 voices. |

They can't. they tried and failed so the feature was abandoned.

They could and they did, just that they found out some percentage of old cards fail the firmware update so work is stil in progress. At least this is an announced feature that has not been officially pulled so what do we know until they say something?

My guess is that the only fix is to replace the cards themselves, and Avid doesn't want to eat that cost and they know their customers will be in an uproar if they try to make them pay for it themselves.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
It was supposed tobe 2019.5 feature, but it has been skipped so far.
If you ask me, assuming I remember correctly, they should have just accepted the fact that 15% of the cards need to be replaced on Avid's cost. That would have been far better than this negative publicity. But as always, they didn't ask me

I doubt Avid will pre-announce new features again!

Its a shame they dont do it. Just replace the cards. Then they could just rebuild those cards at factory and sell as refurbished. How much it would cost them?

Maybe it's to do with a certain revision of the FPGAs on the board? Swapping out BGA chips on an assembled board is not trivial.

Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Give HDX *at least* the same voice count as a non-HDX interface
We've got an HDX2 system feeding SSL DeltaLink (DigiLink to MADI conversion) feeding our SSL C200 console with 128-IO. It could be because of the DeltaLink, but when I run DigiTest, it says there isn't any firmware on the HDX card. Could this be right, or is it looking for an Avid interface?
BTW, we do have 512 voices on this system, or is the OP meaning there's only 256 on a single HDX?
