[sdiy] OT: Help with polygon scanner from copier

[DrHeqx]

Karl,
Too bad it's not from Konica Minolta. I am a sales engineer for them at this 
time.

I want to ask you if you think it possible to use this as some sort of echo, 
delay line, or a way to scan chunks of audio into different channels to be 
individually processed? by audio I mean an audio modulated beam.
