Custom console using series 500 modules?

[GrievousAngel]

Who is running a custom series 500 console as a front end for PT?

Building DIY 500 kits? Preferred brand?

Seventh Circle Audio looks good but not series 500. BUT could arrange on a vertical rack shelf?

Who is doing this?

Thanks,

Do you mean with full channel strips with sends, or just 500 rack as preamps?

[GrievousAngel]

Just series 500 pres, EQ and dynamics.

However, is anyone doing the entire channel strip thing including sends, etc?

I guest I am dreaming of building a full functioning console around series 500 gear. CAPI appears to come close but gets involved.

Thx

Pretty sure Purple Audio even makes a fader bank, but at the end of the day, I feel no need for a console(although I would like to have a serious control surface like a D Command es with 24 faders). You can certainly create channel strips with 500 modules, but how much process do you really need on the way in? I have 6 500 preamps I use for tracking electric guitars and bass(bass also goes thru a Retro Doublewide compressor in the 500 rack), but I also have plenty of other preamps(I do try to keep outboard preamps in pairs, just in case I need a good stereo input) Lots of 500-compatible stuff out there so its really down to your imagination(and your wallet)

I’ve been using the DIYRE setup for a few weeks and have been more than satisfied. But still don’t understand why no 500 chassis with light pipe
