Antelope Orion Studio

Intriguing: "Orion Studio’s secret weapon is the extremely powerful Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. Its massive parallel processing capabilities are far ahead of DSP chips used in similar devices. Through smart algorithms, oversampling and custom-tweaked models, the FPGA provides the lowest latency possible, allowing you to create up to four independent, (32 Channel X 4) zero latency mixes. Those can be easily assigned to any output including the two separate headphone outs."
Claims of very accurate analog hw effects emulation. No synths or samplers though.
Any thoughts out there. I like the interface. Would it be too difficult to achieve in Scope? Pretty ambitious with SDK I would think.
[EDIT/] Referring only to doing a GUI along the same lines for Scope. The current (revolutionary when introduced) Scope routing window is always in an X-Y plane (viewed from above) but this GUI more like a z-plane view through a console "pane" with the routing more like mausmuso's MIDI router/filter matrix than the "cables" paradigm. I haven't really thought it out too deeply but it seems that a z-plane approach would also be nice to have in Scope. As in nice but not necessary. Bottom line is does it sound better? Does it have less latency? I don't see how it could. No synths here either. Nothing more than test tones, not even noise! No really custom plugs like the one's we're spoiled with. But "could it core a apple"? (as in Art Carney, not Bill Gates, if you know what I mean). [/EDIT]
