Re: [LAD] Open Source to be or not to be?

[hermann meyer] Thank you kindly Hermann, I hope I'll be able to join you guys at a later date. In re circuit emulation, I have to concur with Fons: meaningful nonlinear full-circuit emulation (i.e. employing more than just a single isolated idealised nonlinear component) appears to be too demanding for realtime application on current hardware (and I think the problem doesn't lend itself well to parallelisation so the current trends in CPU progress won't help much) and if you stay linear I think you're better off with traditional optimised digital filter designs. Not to say it's not a great tool, but I see its value more in gaining insight than realtime processing. Cheers, Tim
