with two Thunderbolt ports could deliver up to 384 channels. The 2014 Mac Pro, with 6
Thunderbolt II ports, can potentially deliver 1,152 channels, if processor speed and system
throughput are adequate. The Thunderbolt spec allows for daisy chaining of unrelated
devices as well, so hard drives, monitors, and other devices can be connected in a daisy chain
with one or more Auroras. Since hot-plugging is integral to Thunderbolt, devices can be
added or removed from the daisy chain without requiring a reboot or power cycle of the
hardware.
The LT-TB was designed with adaptability in mind. The hardware can be field-programmed
through simple firmware updates which can be downloaded from the Lynx Studio
Technology website. In this way, the product’s functionality and feature-set can be easily
upgraded by the end-user. Also, the host Aurora’s firmware can also be updated through the
Thunderbolt connection to the computer. No MIDI Interface required!
