The one drooling over the classic Ursa Major racks can spin in joy and sing all day long, one of the "reverberators" himself Mr Christopher Moore re-release the Ursa Major Space Station SST-206.
Based on 150MHz 24 bit Motorola DSP chips, and using the original algorhythm the original sound should still be there, along with AES-EBU I/O, and of 24 bits 44.1 or 48 khz audio. The unit itself is no more a 3U rack but what looks like a remote with knobbies.
With the power available from the Motorola chip, Moore says that he was unable to resist the temptation to pull out all the stops and render a stunning new reverb program he simply calls "room." The reverberator is controlled by twelve potentiometers that provide instant, intuitive access to all the important parameters.
Price $1195.00. Note, the SST-206 is not CE approved yet.
