Actually, all three of us echoplex people (aurisis research, really) are on the list. Eric never posts at all, but Matthias does - he's the main guru! Also, Motley, from Boomerang is here, and chimes in sometimes. Bob Sellon and Greg Hogan of Lexicon used to be on the list, but haven't been lately. People from a variety of other companies lurk here too, tc, korg, opcode, emu, various others. Yes, virginia, there are real people on the other side of the wall who make this stuff. Mostly just regular musicians like you with some electronics knowledge, passion, and crazy dreams. You do it because you love it, it sure doesn't make you rich! >Although hearing that the EDP has CS software >makes me cringe- my cheap Midiman sound card uses CS drivers and every >so often the dissappear and need to be reinstalled- although it is more >than likely my system- I just don't like independent software coupled >with different brand hardware- call me ignorant- se' la vie'- no no, it's a completely different thing from a PC soundcard situation. The Echoplex uses a chip from Crystal, who makes some of the best digital audio parts. There's no driver from Crystal or anything like that. Our software just communicates directly with the chip to transfer the digital audio in and out of memory. (same as it communicates with other chips on the board...) Nothin' to worry about there, this stuff is all completely invisible to the user... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
