Justin Frankel of Winamp and Gnutella (and Waste, sheesh!) fame has a new project—and it could be his most wicked yet. The Jesusonic CrusFX 1000 is a prototype effects processor for musicians, designed to run the text-based Jesusonic software (available for download on the Jesusonic website). Each button on the prototype triggers a different, linking effect, and new effects algorithms can be coded and compiled in real time for testing.
“WHAT WOULD JESUS USE FOR EFFECTS PROCESSING?” they ask. So brilliant. He’ll be selling the production units to churches with one hand and Satan-worshiping metallists with the other, I’m sure.
