New ESI stuff........
Just to say we received some of the ESI new(ish) products today, and there'll be some reviews soon... Interestingly one of them is the ESI WaMi Rack ESP1010 which is the new version of the old Hoontech C-PORT system... interesting
ESP 1010 system it's been revamped image-wise, now all in creamy white. The've lost the balanced master XLR L/R master outs it seems, but have addressed stuff like the lack of physical support for the XLR mic sockets which on the old C-port and it's fore-runner the even older dsp2496 + adc/dac2000 system, was a weakspot.
On the ESP1010, the two XLR's mic sockets are now physicaly supported with two screws which attach each socket to the rack unit's front-panel.
you also get 2 headphone sockets now.
Anyways, that's that one
They also sent the JULI@ card
JULI@ card which i suppose is the replacement for the old ST-Audio DSP2496 basic card, and this one is very interesting because the card is reversible !
you can remove the PCI Slot plate and re-attach it to the other side of the card. Also, the card splits in half with socket arrnagement - This allows you to choose to have either RCA phono sockets or 1/4" sockets for the card... cool! - Usual stuff otherwise, midi i/o & s/pdif but it does look well cool all in white, inc' the pcb board
anyways, more to come then. There's a slew of reviews to work thru on baclog now that the 7161 site coding updates are all done.... Two mic reviews and final parts for the E-mu 1820m and SX BCF stuff also to come over the next month, so it'll be busy busy

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
