My rack is integrated into the living room, all hidden behind a poster and books.
It is a computer with midi controller keyboard, Guitar-to-MIDI Controller, Axe Fx II and XITE.
XITE and Axe are connected analog in/out and AES/EBU in/out.
So any device from XITE, like John Bowen's Solaris, can use the Axe's send/return FX.
Or any guitar from Axe can use the Wave-Osc's and/or filters inside the XITE.
Of course, a guitar with midi output, like a Godin LGX, can use the XITE Midi-In parallel
to the Axe. All to do inside the XITE is routing the output of the Midi-In to the synth/filter whatever combo
into the mixer and routing AES/EBU-In into the next free channels of the same mixer.
Or you do separate mixing, a "valve" mixer for the synth into the "definite output mixer".
Or you route into a rotor device for getting a rotating 5.1 output.
The missing 2 more channels you could built up as a Modular device.
Please: I cannot explain all that in detail.
Modular is a very mighty tool. Inside is everything you need to built up sounds.
OSCs, Filters, LFOs, ADSRs, effects. OSCs can be WAVs or Wavetables, like the ones from Prophet VS and Waldorf.
If you look for crazyness in building up sound: XITE plus Axe-Fx is the way to go. IMHO.
And, btw., inside, the processors...
If the Axe III learns how to wordclock and how to change Sample rate the duo will match just perfect.
You can expand your rack to a portable studio environment.
Not much to add: Laptop, Guitar-to-MIDI Controller and XITE. A midi controller like Mackie control makes sense.
You expand your Train, the one containing all the Amps and Cabs, with some dozen Synths (ARP, Moog, Prophet etc.) plus
Mixer consoles from simple ones up to 48/96 with or without valves, 2 inserts per channel, 2 for main.
And, of course, some additional bread&butter stuff like reverbs etc. pp., you must have something for the inserts, isn't it?
You maybe understand, the community at PlanetZ is comparable to that one here.
Have a look into Devices and Modular Patches.
This is where the Cab/IR and Preset section is.
For XITE you need devices and modular patches. And there are some really fantastic ones.
Reference? Oscar for Sound in Gladiator.
XITE is good, yes.
