I call it the third of it's kind after the Powercore and UAD-1. Both of these also only allow specialised plugins to run on them. The Powercore is a tad different as the architecture has been opened up to third parties. Of course there has been the whole Digi TDM thing also but that's different because it was open to third parties to develop from day one. I also feel that this whole market would never have happened if users didn't love stealing native and TDM plugins so much. You can think of these DSP expanders all as fancy dongles if you will. I agree with Dennis. The writing is on the wall with Logic's node computing. I bet they could allow third party plugins to use the node thing now if they wanted but they're trying to sell more copies of Logic so who can blame them. If I were apple I would do the same "for a while at least" also. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Paul Najar Jaminajar Music Production www.jaminajar.com
