Interesting:
“It’s fast forward to the past,” Pellish said, referring to an emerging processing technology developed by a Cambridge, Mass.-based company, Analog Devices Lyric Labs.

I watch the early morning markets not because I am rich but I inherited some stock which is handled by a trusted family Broker. I was shocked at a memo I recieved about how the portfolio had a good week but Analog Devices lost 1%, but our broker feels he needs to send alerts on any potential gains or losses. Just happened in April '11 so I never really sat down and read the exact lists other than a top heavy AT&T and NatGas. Never knew I had shares in Analog Devices though, what good instincts we have here.
I emailed him back and told him my income was based on Analog Devices chips and he didn't realise they also dabble in audio.
Probably where the loss was generated.....
That German Pianists avatar is pretty cool....
Nice Link though, we are all vested of course.

Nice to see us all return to the 70's again.
Good news to see some new progress and breakthroughs!

Maybe SC can make an XITE version with some analog filters inside. Like the Waldorf AFB-16 (remember that one?)

As long as that weak ass USB isn't used for the audio, I'd be interested.
The Filters in Solaris are amazing for being DSP based, incredible actually as the internal 96k processing is something that puts it way above any other Digital Filters.
We need Klaus Piehl as he has done an amazing job on Solaris.
Maybe just use the Filters already on Solaris and Toslink ro AES/EBU, that would be XITEing..

The hint is in AD's aquisition of Lyric Semiconductors and a discussion by Braincell and myself regards a Vocaloid/Cubase integeration capable of substituting a bedroom warrior's guide vocal with that of any famous singer. A Fast Fourier transform extended to vocal-to-lyric done in realtime by DSP/Lyric semiconductor will have us all singing like a young Whitney in no time.
Since APRA / ASCAP and other royalty collection agencies currently only recognise melody and lyrics for copyright and income distribution purposes, a new plethora of legal industries will be born on 'how do we copyright the sound of someone's voice'.
Since anyone with a home DAW can make almost studio quality mixes, dub in thier favourite singer and release on the internet claiming it is the latest from Rihanna, Bruno Mars, John Lennon or even Janis Joplin fun games are ahead for industry moguls who thought loosing Vinyl and CD income to iTunes was a problem.
Dogs will hunt, hens will cackle and run.

I'd use Louis Armstrong and do some Rap Tunes or Scatman Caruthers.
