�

I'll take every single one of those processors that you guys mentioned in this thread.� Great stuff.
Paul, I have shied away from the LXP-1 and LXP-5 just the for reason of the the encoder issues that the Vortex, Alex, Reflex and Jamman suffer from.� Once those pots go than trying to get the encoders for them is impossible (includin LXP's).� You have to keep buying units to canabilize the encoders for.� But I always wanted try the LXP units with the MRC controller.� It's like an Alesis wedge but only 12 bit and all those parameters to tweak.� I know I will pick these units up, it's only a matter of time.� I gotta try it.

Were there ever any 8bit or 10bit effects?��� I think the LXP series have just a tad wider bandwith and go up to 12K instead of 10K like the Midiverb and Midifex.�

On the list too is the Vermona Lancet multimode filter and the Jomox Moonwind.

I have always dreamt of what the EII would sound like with bandpass and high pass filtering with clockable midi LFO's and subdivisions.��

I need to pick up another Symetrix 606 too.� I haven't had one in about 3 years and that is on the never ending list as well.�� Too many cool processors for the EII at this point.

I use an Eventide Time factor delay for old synths. You can simulate the bit depth you want - mine is usually set to early 80's 12 bit crappiness or lower. I love that it fit's nicely on top of keyboards, it automatically follows MIDI tempo and it's just covered with knobs. It does great tape loop emulation as well. I occasionally use an old Roland SDE-1000, an excellent sounding 12 bit delay which is easy to find and can be had for cheap.
