Merry Christmas everybody! Pardon the Wiard news here, but I mentioned this item a few months ago and a few on the list asked about it, so I am reporting back with some updated news.... For those of you inquired about the tcelectronic Studio Konnekt 48 a few months back when I was beta testing it during the AnalogLive! concert in November, the news is that the latest release of the software is ready to go and IT WORKS! I have been using it for the last few days and it appears to be stable and fully functioning. IMHO, this is the best integrated interface on the market; I have used it for everything from remote recording with my laptop, or putting my laptop in a multichannel liplock with my studio G5 for additional effects or instruments, to using the SK48 as a stage mixer for live performance.... -12 analog inputs (4 balanced line ins, 4 impedence-matching micpre's) -12 analog outputs; -8 channels of ADAT i/o; -SPDIF i/o; -Firewire interface; -midi i/o; -word clock i/o -96/24 operation; -built in DSP (system 4000 reverb and multichannel limiting); configurable for surround, complete with bass management for the subwoofer channel; -a very nifty user configurable remote control (yes, when in surround you can use it as a master volume for the room); -and you can configure it, then disconnect the computer - letting it operate free standing as a mixer, convertor, reverb unit, etc. That's it - I will return the airwaves back to Wiard land! gary
