Simultaneous SFP/XTC mode with no monitoring latency is here

Sort of already.
While experimenting with a XTCproject.pro I've just realized we can already have an hybrid mode using the known STM 4896 "xtcized" procedure (dev renamed to mdl), connecting the monitor and headphone amp outputs to STD and CTRL outputs, using an spdif external reverb on aux 1 & 2 (just to spare dsp and have physical instant access to rev).
You can use effects in Nuendo/Cubase with XTC plugs
You can sidechain beetween xtc plugs within the host software
You can sidechain dynamic plugs in the STM mixer from SC enabled plugs used in Nuendo/Cubase (not the other way round though) !
You can sum and or mix in STM 4896 if needed.
You gain a front, reliable & midified monitor section and mixer beetween Nuendo/Cubase and the amp/speakers (thanks god)
You have no latency on monitoring, with nice dsp effects, rev, delays, amp sim etc while recording dry....
Of course direct monitoring needs to be ticked off and no monitoring should occure inside the host anymore (the little orange speaker needs to be turned off on the recording track).
I connect most of the I/O directly to the mixer and use the directout feature to map to Nuendo/Cubase. This way everything external is always hearable without latency.
PS : External effects can't use the plugin that comes with Scope for that matter because it doesn't retain the I/O settings in xtc mode. You have to connect directly to the I/O in the XTCproject.pro.
Don't forget to save the XTCproject.pro with the mixer opened.
I know it is partly old news, but guys, try this very same setup and you'll see the light.
I really hope SonicCore won't ditch the XTC mode in the upcoming SFP5.
If we could just get the project routing and full modular within this mode, It'd be perfect.
