Vision for product
Builds on the vision for the Neuros I & II but improving in important areas to better realize the vision for a digital audio computer.
For example, we’ve received numerous requests from universities who want to program with the Neuros so they can use the device for timed recording of bird sounds, others for testing, etc. Recording enthusiasts want multi-track recording. Lots of other folks want better functioning database browsing with customizable XI menus, etc.
Then there’s games and PDA functions galore. I just want an alarm clock myself.
