just today, the family moved to a more appropriate flat, without my  
work space.
the idea is to move to some atelier, where I can concentrate better. I  
need to keep the entire code in my head to work efficiently, which was  
not possible since Icaue was born.
And I found a new partner here in Brasil, Pedro, a young EE and great  
guitar player, who will help me to adapt the software to a new  
hardware... not that I would give up working with Andy, but to  
collaborate in the same physical space has some huge advantages which  
I did not enjoy since I worked with Eric on the EDP between 1992 and  
1994.

so yes, I will finish this plugin! Its already doing almost everything  
the EDP did, since I basically translated from the original ASM code.  
Plus its nearly sample accurate now.

yes, its that middle way I believe in, too: intuitive instant  
expression and easy noise free amplification!
