Yes, it is extremely interesting.  Kind of reminds me of the Richmond
AudioBox.  I haven't looked at this product before.  Thanks for the tip!

Can you describe this more?  I'm trying to relate this to my experience, as
I've never used a digital board before.  Sometimes when I'm
tweaking/frobbing knobs on my analog mixer, I feel like I'm flying it,
piloting the rig.  I think it's that immediate feedback thing.
