The root functionality of these products (delays, filters, etc) have been done before, but look a little deeper into the products for special touches. e.g., the EQ Killer can actually cut to infinity; the distortion on the MoFx can be switched to show up in front of the other 3 effects; the Warp Factory is performing some great harmonic magic that I haven't heard in any other vocoder... It's kinda' like looking at all the phaser products that have come and gone through the years. Phasing is a concept that's been done, done and done for a long time; but there are solid stand-out products along the way that push the concept just a bit off the edge, like the Mutron BiPhase or the original Moog 12 stage (and the MF-103 from Big Briar!). Electrix has a good handle on what makes something music *and* useful in a production environment. I have a ton of delay lines, but I gotta say that I've been having the most fun with the MoFx. The combination of neat little touches and the presentation packaging makes the box just a joy to use. >The Repeater, however...hmmm, totally new beast altogether. Keeping my >fingers crossed. Actually.. It's not all that different for them. I know what you're saying, but you have to remember who Electrix is. Electrix is a division of IVL: http://www.ivl.com/main.htm IVL has been doing _premier_ work in pitch shifting, time slicing and other DSP laden functionality for a LONG time. They license their DSP code to a number of _major_ manufacturers. Electrix knows a LOT about DSP in general, and pitch/time mangling in specific. They're well poised to make a killer looping box. :) Mark _______________________________________________________ |_) _ _||\/| _ _ ._ evolutionary electronica | \(/_(_|| |(_)(_)| | www.redmoon-music.com _______________________________________________________
