RE: Rack unit. thebishopgame says: "I'd very much like for there to be"
Someone asks whether Stadium enables hands-free pre-arranged looping. He responds "correct".
"Better than an SPD, easier to start at the certain spot, etc"
One person says they currently use an iPad and are getting into using a laptop and Logic and he responds with "You're exactly the kind of person we had in mind for this"
There is internal storage, "but big stuff goes on the card" which you can replace with any size.
USB-C is connect to a host.
USB-A is to act as a host.
"Agoura and Proxy will not be available in Native" - assuming he means current Native.
Chasis has vents.
"There are a number of complications with doing NAM in embedded hardware, since it was made to run on general PC/Mac and effectively have unlimited resources. You have to limit the model size at some point, and then the performance might not be what people think of as NAM. There’s a lot we can do with Proxy to make stuff better that we can’t with NAM."
"A bunch of the Agoura amps have multiple channels, but it just depends on the amp circuit design. The less the channels have in common electronics wise, the more stuff has to go into the model and the higher the DSP usage. So at some point we have to separate them for usability's sake."
"Yeah, I mean, I think most of us are of the opinion that if it can be done and doesn't take a monstrous effort to do so (we have to port the NAM player code to SHARC and make sure it plays nice with the rest of the system), we'd like to do it. We just don't wanna do it and then have it be meh, especially if it does take a significant investment.
Actually, maybe not SHARC. I'm not sure if we'd need to have the MCU cores run that or what."
RE: Proxy -
"It's not gonna be parametric at launch for sure, I'm not certain whether we'll ever go that direction. On top of the more complicated sampling process, you have to get into variable UI based on user defined params and HOO BOY"
RE: No EU pre-orders.
"Yeah, unfortunately this is a Yamaha thing. We had to close our EU offices when we were acquired so they handle all stuff over there."
"The stem splitting will happen in Edit, Stadium will just get the audio files and play those back. So it'll be powered by your computer, same as Logic."
"You can control Showcase transport via MIDI"
"You can send it MIDI messages to play, stop, cue a song, etc
So if you put those in your session on the laptop, yeah, when the drummer sits down and starts the song, it can start Showcase playback on Stadium at the same time. That's what you were asking for, right?"
"In case y'all didn't catch it, that video contains all the Agoura guitar amp models that'll be available at launch.

"I think we'll probably get around to all of them eventually
Agoura modeling goes faster than HX
We'll be tossing in new ones as we go as well"
RE: Using the sends as separate line outs:
"Not at launch but we're going to get that into an update"
"You can also get extra outs via Expand boxes"
