The only thing wrong with the Six Trak was the 1MHz CPU that just couldn’t keep up. Take some of those AS3394 chips, get some muxes and a nice fast Teensy MCU, someone could put multitimbral analog back on the map. But it would be better do an open-source hardware project than have Behringer make one eighteen inches long and three pounds. </div><div style="font-size: 13px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-size: 13px;" class="">The quest for authenticity takes us to absurd places. </div></body></html>
