  However, this list here is the wrong place to
discus that any further,
 I just hope that some people here get interested in such a approve

 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. 
Maybe true. Indeed we are not able to generate realtime capable source
code direct from a (nonlinear) circuit schematic, it's to complex. A lot
to resolve. But we work on it.
Alone the build script for the jcm800pre takes 288 lines python, and a
couple of optimization steps are needed to get it at least run with
~20%DSP load. But the result is indeed passable in terms of how it
sounds lately.
Clearly a picture from the beach isn't the beach. :-D

  Not to say it's not a great tool, but I see its
value more in gaining
 insight than realtime processing.
 Cheers, Tim
