Typically the effect patches you > find in a FireworX or Eclipse. I missed that. Sorry. I'm inclined to think that a combination of Reaktor ensembles, MAX/MSP patches, and other high quality VSTs can work together to do what a FireworX or Eclipse can do in principle (though wiht not the exact propietary sound), with 50% CPU utilization or less (in fact, I think I'm doing it now)....of course, they won't produce that "it" factor that an Eclipse makes that allows everyone to identify it in someone's overall sound. This is why some folks go to software and MAX/MSP, because they want to be in in control of their sound and develop their own unique effect personality. I got rid of my FireworX because I thought it was limited. I can stack and combine many more effects in my PC VST system....but I don't doubt that there are FireworX patches that you can't emulate right now with your PC system, for whatever reasons. > As soon as I get rich I will buy a faster laptop - hopefully a Four >Core > or a Double Duo... thingy ;-) Four core would be screamin'. I'd buy that. But I just wish some music software companies would start writing their apps to take advantage of the entire duo core design. There are default benefits of having the duo core system that do not require the app to be updated (just in the way the cores operate, they run more efficiently with a single app than a single core), but if the apps were updated, you'd see improvement. We had this discussion on the MAX/MSP discussion group. Kris
