[OT] : Fostex VM04 digital mixer

On the subject of mixers, I picked up an ex-display Fostex VM-04  
digital mixer today from Paul Beuscher in Bastille, and am mightily  
happy with it. I believe that the model is discontinued now. Its a 4  
track digital desk with 4 inputs (no sends/returns unfortunately), 20  
scene memories, optical out and a built in 20-bit DSP with some  
not-too-bad sounding reverbs/delays/chorus's. Its also very quiet,  
compact and light.

The price? Because there was no mains adaptor or box, I haggled them  
down to 120 Euros. Due to the nature of the non-standard DC input, I  
had to hack around with an old universal adaptor, stuffing the inside  
of one of the connectors with a thinly wrapped roll of aluminium  
foil... and got it to work.

I've been looking for a cheap desk purely as an input mixer  to feed  
the violin, microphone and L&R from the computer (running as a soft  
synth) into the Repeater, and this is it. Considering what other mixers  
I could have gotten for 120 Euros, I think I had a bargain - plus its  
under full guarantee for

If you are looking for a simple mixer with built in DSP effects, then  
try to track one of these down. I checked on Ebay, and there is just  
one listed, currently at $122
