Re: Evoloop (was: Mobius in a rack unit)

[Matthias Grob <matilists@gmail.com>]

friends, 
I have not been present here because I work day and night exactly to 
achieve this!
The past years, I translated the EDP ASM soft to the Echoloop VST plugin 
in C++
and the past months, with great help from Bob Amstadt, I adapt this 
software to run on a little Linux processor
as Jeff suspects, its pretty crazy and takes a lot of rewrite, but it 
seems I will manage to maintain the core with the essencial typical 
functions that make it all work the same, so all those musicians who 
composed on the EDP or Mobius for years can seamlessly continue playing 
with the Evoloop rack unit - with next to no audio latency (yes, its not 
like running a plugin on Linux, Bob is much smarter! :-)

back to work
Matthias
