Re: Software to replace multieffects box (was Laptop loopers, what do you do with your favorite rack gear?)

Well, well... there's no easy answer to that. Below I'm pasting in
the six modules of the MPX-1 and their parameters. You have to find a
software solution that (1) offers the same processing and (2) offers
the same routing as the MPX-1. I don't have an MPX-1 and I don't have
time to read the rest of its manual to learn how its routing
schematics are implemented. But if I did I would either look into
Max/MSP to take on the project of recreating those audio processing
modules or I'd look into Bidule and the project of assembling AU or
VST plug-ins that equal the MPX-1 and do the wiring up in Bidule.
Hardware devices like the MPX-1 (or my FireworX) are typically
extremely good at what they are supposed to be good at. So you can
dedicate time to study them in detail and be sure to learn a lot. The
same can not be said about software, because software tend to take on
a much more versatile role (which is the kind version - the not so
kind version is to say that software doesn't give a clue about where
to start and will typically keep you occupied for way too much time
without resulting in anything particularly useful at all)
