Hi everyone,

I think the next version of the virus will most probably
contain the newest generation of Motorola 56k DSPs

Instead of the two single-core 150Mhz (TI) or 180Mhz (TI2),
they will probably use the newer single-chip dual-core DSP
at 250Mhz. This will decrease the price for the PCB and
increase performance by a good amount...

USB 2.0 integration would good, to allow for 24bit VSTi
Integration with more parallel channels.

Even better than using USB might be the usage of Ethernet AVB,
a new standard supposed to replace all the proprietary ways to
transfer audio over network cables. There are quite a few
manufacturers going in this direction (Dante, MyMix for example)

This way a virus could be integrated via AVB for the audio path.
Since more & more people start using digitial snakes for live,
This would also make sense for gigging...
