Re: Another feature for my ideal EDP wishlist

[Geoffrey Smith <geoff.smith15@btopenworld.com>]

yeah I believe so.
the guys name is phillippe Olliver(wrong spelling)
and he is showing the software at the IRCAM forum on the 22nd(will 
confirm)
I am not on the right computer at the moment so u will have to excuse 
my terrible memory!!
however I will post the correct details when I get home. He works with 
a clarinetist called Michael Almount(again my memory is a bit sketchy) 
but he has developed this software to get around certain limitations of 
the edp.
