Great, thanks!

here's a quote from the operation manual... of the plug-in:

"When you turn it off and leave the tape loaded, the tape bends in
proximity of the capstan, and this turns into a periodic pitch fall during echo playback;
plus, it gets hot and the background hum gets worse in time... you should turn it off
every now and then; the tape is never completely erased, and the capstan motor
flutters... and it gets worse if you touch it while it's spinning; heads tend to get dirty
very soon, infact you should clean them often. This is true for the actual hardware unit,
and for the digital simulation as well!"

Plug-ins that get hot with time, and should be turned off every once in a while?

Can't wait to hear this....

Great Link,

Thanks MD69.
I really hope thry will release hardware sampler uses SSD's. EMU and Akai are rumored to re emerge and take back the crown.
