Did you get the same impression from the Deep Root announcement that I did? "We're going to wreck everyone's shit and take everything we can get because we can afford to and don't give a shit"?

I certainly wouldn't mind a chance to work with Ben - there's a great deal of specialist knowledge and practical skills that few heads in the industry hold.

Does the PinHeck system allow for more than 64 lamps, or is it based on more traditional low-level lamp/switch matrix hardware? I counted 65 inserts on the whitewood mockup, so I'm guessing at least one of those won't be.

I find it's actually bloody hard keeping an insert count down to 64 these days on a modern full-feature design, especially if you're trying to experiment with new gameplay ideas and don't really want the screen to have to make up for any shortfall. Fortunately I haven't had to set that limit for myself yet.
