Re: [AN1x-list] Kenton Plugstation & ADAT output

Re: [AN1x-list] Kenton Plugstation & ADAT output

All,

I just got email from Kenton, they are working on an optional ADAT output
for the plugstation.

I would assume this would allow up to 4 synths (4 x stereo=8 ADAT outputs)
to be output via the lightpipe.

At last, digital output for the AN plugin boards without having to buy a DSP
factory !

Now this is what I call good news on a Christmas morning.

(Guess what: it's snowing! It almost never snows in the Netherlands
on Christmas day.)

Or perhaps just stereo, if they do the Korg thing... but given the
fact that this thing has multiple analogue outs, I sort of doubt
that.

Yes, and its looks like that I might be needing *many* ADAT inputs
in the future...
