Aurisis, Gibson, etc. (was Re: EDP or REPEATER?)

[Mark Hamburg <mark_hamburg@baymoon.com>]

Depending on Gibson's motivation for doing a version 2 of the Echoplex
hardware -- and it's definitely on the hardware side as opposed to the
software side where the Echoplex is looking long-in-the-tooth -- would it 
be
possible for Aurisis to find some other company with existing appropriate
hardware that could be used to host an OS built on Aurisis's experience
doing the Echoplex? Candidate hardware that I can think of includes the
Repeater and the SP-808. Would an approach like this help resolve some of
the cost issues that were previously discussed with respect to bringing a
new unit to market?

That being said, I think the original Ensoniq sampler is about the only
music hardware product I'm aware of that's had an alternate OS developed 
for
it.
