I recall both Oberheim and Zeta being involved in supporting the project, which took place at UC Berkeley's CNMAT. However, I get the impression Kim is kind of busy right now, so we'll just have to wait until he has some free time to share his experiences. I do recall that the ZIPI project eventually died. Perhaps the emergence of physical modeling technology in effects processors/preamps (various Roland preamps, Roland VG8, Yamaha's new preamp, Johnson Millenium amp) and synths, lower-cost digital audio recording hardware and software, and looping devices have diminished the demand for a MIDI replacement. But this is pure speculation on my part. :) Paolo Valladolid --------------------------------------------------------------- |Moderator of Digital Guitar Digest, an Internet mailing list |\ |for Music Technology and Stringed Instruments | \ ---------------------------------------------------------------- | \ finger pvallado@waynesworld.ucsd.edu for more info \ | \ http://waynesworld.ucsd.edu/DigitalGuitar/home.html \| -----------------------------------------------------------------
