This has 16-bit stereo in/out and could easily emulate a typical

...actually, despite a lot of looking, no good places found...
my friend was very depressed and thought that all the good algorithms were
probably developed and kept secret.. after a couple of months he went and 
listened to the Nord etc & found that their algorithms wern't up to his
standards anyway (or at least the output wasn't). So he is a bit happier now.
Looks like this is pretty cutting edge stuff.

Would naturally like to hear from any DSP people!
