I've sent him an e-mail pointing out that Loopers Delight is THE place for good ideas about product development and the best place to find prospective customers for any looping/sampling software they develop. I've encouraged him to subscribe to the list but offered to send him digests of pertinent discussions. Of course people are free to make direct contact with the company (that's what you and I did, with good results), but if we discuss a lot of our ideas here first we'll have the benefit of our collective intelligence. As we do this I think it's important to consider matters of coherence, tradition, design philosophy, etc. as they might apply to product development. PSP has begun to develop a product line based on emulations of classic analog and pre-DSP processors (cf. VintageWarmer), and their delay products have the blessing of Lexicon. It would make sense to pursue development in an organic way that builds on the Lexicon Prime Time/PCM-42 tradition, rather than (e.g.) create an EDP emulation. That's not to say they should avoid picking up ideas from other branches of the looping/sampling evolutionary tree, but that it might best be done in an incremental and connected way. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com
