It appears to be an x86 processor (or some...), that you squirt PC VST
plugins to.
A cost effective way of running host plugins would be using multiple,
cheap CPUs (durons say), and spreading the plugins amongst them. You can't
do it in a PC cos of the OS etc. but it could be possible in some bespoke
hardware. Cooling would be hard though. More practical might be a couple
of mini-ITX boards, easy to cool, cheap ($250 each) and very small.
Cool hardware. Quiet though, implies not silent.

And at that point, I think I might as well put the computer in another
room and run long kb / monitor / mouse cables to it.
Which I would do if I was recording really quiet sources.

I guess the *real* question is, what kind of OS are they using
and how hard would it be to hack the thing to run ladspa.

I would guess its running something like QNX. Thinking about it, if its
two seperate machines in there, they could just be linked by ethernet.
It would be interesting to get it running a cutdown RT linux or similar.
Its probably not standard hardware though.

My guess would be usb. There seems to be a rush of usb control surfaces
lately.
