man -if i had this in 1994 :) great emu - better control than rebirth

- the only problem with the iphone / ipad is that you need --more than one --of them and they don't sync with each other -- but used 1st gen itouch 8gig are looking better all the time.

@FSK1138 Every time I see a new music app on the iPod/Pad/Phone I'm dumbfounded by where we have come thus far with music and technology. I remember when you were something if you could afford a 4 track (tape) recorder.., and you were REALLY something if you had the dough to buy a Fostex "reel to reel". Now you can do so much from mobile device.

@squeakD man you had reel to reel ... i had to use a batamax vcr with overdub LOL ..it has come a long way - but in some ways i think that the limitations

made the music more real - on my old ensoniq eps rack I had one floppy disk per album( 7 or 8 songs )-- it was all editing and midi sysex and individual outputs

@FSK1138 Ha.., wish I could have afforded a reel to reel in those days. Shoot.., my friends and I used the earlier "ghetto multi-track". A dual cassette deck and LOTS of cassette tapes. Even a tricked out set of old headphones used as a mic :-)

Great stuff man, very god emulation, can't beat the portability too ;) Any chance you'll give us a bitta something with this along with your rs and Di :)

@kingofkeyboards Thanks..., yeah I plan on running this app with my Di eventually. I'll probably pair it up with the Xio though (it's a better combo).

@squeakD that is some "realness" right there ----respect --

@wikawoo The apps are what make these things sell IMO. People buy iPod touches just for the apps alone.
