RE: SoundArt Chameleon
Hi folks!
Just thought I'd drop some info on the Chameleon. I've got two of them, have some involvment (doing independent development - I'm not employed by Soundart), and am probably biased, so you're warned
.
Cheesy? I think not. As so often, a few mp3 demos of presets isn't telling the whole story.
For some strange(???) reason, people seem to be afraid of it, or something. Maybe because it can make a lot of equipment seem stupidly expensive and dull... Soundart are a small company and can't afford lot's of marketing, so it's not very widely known. You'll not see it "take off" as in selling by the millions. There's a user and developer community on Soundarts site, and there's a developers community on ampfea.org. There are several new "soundskins" and more in the pipeline.
IMNSHO this is just about *the* best deal ever! At £425 you can hardly go wrong with it. It's got the same DSP and host-CPU power as many fixed-funtionality units selling for upto £1500, better AD/DA tha most units, and all soundskins are free.
I'm getting one more when I have the cash - three is just right for me
