You deserve a lot of praise for your engine! And the reverse engineering leading to full patch compatibility is one of the real gems about Dexed. And therefore it becoming arguably the unofficial official editor and librarian software for

Brings back memories of a great remix contest in 2006 where the digital copies of analog tape tracks from Peter Gabriel’s “Shock the Monkey” were made available to remixers. To my surprise the pitch of the samples was a little lower (and va

If I was paid to “promote” a dodgy publication, I would certainly mask my efforts by submitting many respectable links. So, if the only submitter of that site (until this submission) got marked for unsavoury HN activities, it rather strengt
