Well, at the risk of dragging this list OT again (but it IS the moderator
asking, so...) and of making Kevan clap handies and dance about in celebration
of my hypocrisy (BTW, Kev, what I wrote before had effectively NO emotional
content, as I measure it... when I get mad, you'll know it)....

The Chameleon is a 1U rack unit with a whole mess of DSP inside and 24-bit
I/O, that can be configured to do anything the DSP can handle, simply by
uploading a new OS into the box via MIDI. The different OSes for it, called
SoundSkins, include multi-effects processing, a drumbox/bassbox combo with
sequencer, a vocoder, a polysynth, and more are on the way. I have one here in
my office and am still getting into it. For more data:
