Re: New version of EMXP with RS422 support

2010-10-16 by adrien

yeah ! that's what i want !  and after the EMU, it'll be called  ... the "i mu" !  loool 
or even, a wi mu , controled by wi fi. 
yeah, definitely, a vst emu controler - samples browser/loader - classified samples, into Cubase.
VSTOR ! in ... Emulator against the Terminator !
We all know that this blue beast is alive .... 
; )
off course it's possible, but i'm not qualified to understand how to do.
