Since my message from July 10, 2007 nothing has changed:

"We had already prototypes at NAMM and Musikmesse Frankfurt (with delay and
bit cruncher function). But we are not yet satisfied with the features.
Especially the clock rate (that affects the audio bandwidth) is not
sufficient so far from our point of view. We are about to redesign the
module with a new microcontroller that allows a higher clock rate."

During the last weeks our focus has been on the new modules announced for
fall 2007 (Crossfader/FX Insert A-138d, Manual Gate A-164-1, Switched
Multiples A-182, Precision Adder/Bus Access A-185-2, Gate/Trigger Combiner
A-186, XP VCF A-106-6, Filter/Mixer/Panner subsystem A-135-2).

But we are about to try another solution for a voltage controlled audio
delay (not BBD based) different from the planned universal AD/DA module. If
the results are positive it will feature only voltage controlled audio delay
(i.e. no "calculations" like bit cruncher, wave shaper). All calculating
functions will be possible only with the universal AD/DA module for which we
have to find a faster microcontroller or DSP.
