Personally, I'm quietly planning to get rich quick selling all-vacuum-tube ethernet hubs. :-) A lot of people seem to be misunderstanding what this technology is. It's not so much about guitar synthesizers or computer simulations, but more about putting a preamp and analog to digital converter inside the instrument, then sending audio samples over a network. Of course there is still plenty of room for purists who prefer specific analog effects, but for people who plug into a rack or floor full of digital effects, and constantly mess with routing, patching and mixing, this kind of approach can work really well. Realisitically, audio-over-ethernet isn't new, and from what I read MaGIC is this year's acronym for pretty much the same technology Gibson showed last year at AES under the moniker GMICS. Don't get me wrong, I am very much in favor of low-cost single-cable audio/control/power wiring schemes for music. I've been using Cobranet (64 channels of audio over 100BaseT) heavily over the past year and it's been fantastic. At 9:09 AM +0000 12/5/01, Stephen P.
