Behringer list think of it?<<

I didn't know there was a Behringer list. But I doubt they care about
sophisticated and original use of effects devices anymore than this dead
list does. When I port the technique over to Reaktor and try to tame/refine
it, then maybe the Reaktor list will find it interesting.

Speaking of effects devices, I've run across some very good sales lately
incase anybody just happens to be in the market. One is of the Behringer
REV2496 digital reverb unit on sale for $100 at Musician's Friend. I just
ordered one. Can't pass up that price. It's a highly spec'd reverb unit
that emulates high-end reverbs, and can actually run two reverbs
simultaneously, but it also has flanger/chorus, phaser, compressor too. It
got good reveiws in SOS, and everybody who's bought one was surprised at the
reverb quality (providing the unit doesn't stop working after a few
weeks/months as some have experienced).

And the Lexicon MPX-1 has been discontinued. Most places are blowing them
out for $400 now, down from $700 street price a few months ago, which was
down from $900 street price a few years ago. I think it lists for about
$1250. What that means is Lexicon no longer has sophisticated effects unit
for less than about $2000 now, or maybe not at all. Just one more sign of
the dead digital effects market.
