Well, I would probably buy five CAPI Compressors for the API-ish portion of the side car I've been building. I was toying with JLM, but..................

I am jumping the gun a little as I don't like to talk about things prematurely these days but......theoretically, if I were working on a compressor, it would look something like this.....  |

I might have a theoretical erection. While we're at it, I assume these would be sold as DIY? How would the difficulty be? Would these have op amps in them, if so how many? |

Holy Cow!!!!! OMG will those will look as insane as i'm sure they'll sound in a sidecar!!! I'd love to hear some theoretical insights too the guts of these little beauty's as well! They really look amazing!  |

Let the speculation begin! Observing the ABI button certainly denotes an abbreviation for "all buttons in", history would lead one to believe we are in the presence of a classic FET style compression device....the paradox being an apparent side chain filter? Hmmm, interesting..., the addition of this tool would be a invaluable asset to any pro audio sanctum in our galaxy, but defies the limitations of our traditional time/space continuum 8)  |

Momma-mia! Now THAT could theoretically result in me possibly exchanging many supposed dollars for many highly conjectural kits!   So what would the hypothetical frequency of the potential HPF be? Could there be any speculation about a link capability? |

Could there be any speculation about a link capability? Hypothetically, the SC HPF would be 220Hz. I was not thinking about a link feature. I talked to a handful of pro's about how often they linked or saw 1176's linked. Only one of my friends ever saw a set of 1176's linked. I guess I don't picture this comp to be a bus comp. IMHO there are a bazillion better comps for linking. BTW, this is not an 1176 clone. Hairball has that more than covered. |

I have a lead for a couple pre built ones that I might grab to prepare if needed. |

Three 2520 style opamps, hypothetically of course.

I'm glad it's not another 1176 clone. I've already got those covered by Sound Skulptor.

this is going to be killer!(hypothetically of course), i was convinced it was an 1176 with the ABI button(happy to see it isn't), now i'm thinking some sort of hybrid vca? vca with 2520 red dots would be killer!(the ultimate aggro drum comps?) It'd be nice if the SC filter was somewhat variable, or the unit had simple access to the side chain filter section to be able to change out filter caps(socketed input?) to customize the filter points so we can semi permanently purpose our units to specific tasks? just some thoughts 8) this is totally exciting!  |

Isn't that the beauty of DIY? You can make changes to suit your needs right? yes, but sometimes things can be tough to access, also there are space limitations in 500 designs, it would be cool to be able to just plug in caps of diff values easily if their is no room for a switch and multiple selection of filter points. jeffs designs are always about perfect, but why not throw an idea out there if he's still in the design stage? |

Personally I wouldn't feel the need to monkey with any idea the high priest of mojo comes up with. If it sounds good to him I'd just about bet the ranch that it would to me as well...
I simply can't see this as anything other than a home run...

I simply can't see this as anything other than a home run...me either, i'm definitely one of J's biggest fans 8) I will immediately order at least 4 of these when he's ready, I use his pre's and eq's almost exclusively! I'm just pointing out that it may be possible with little effort to add versatility with variable or diy changeable SC filter points(not unlike swapping op amps). It comes in very, very handy on drums ime. I totally like the 220 filter point he chose if it is to remain fixed, and no way is fixed even close to being a deal breaker, i already believe this is the 500 series compressor that i've been dreaming about, and i haven't even heard it yet lol. |

This looks awesome! My gut tells me it's a VCA type, but with it have not TH and just the level for compression amount it's got me very curious.... a VCA with I/O determined reduction..... goodness I wanna know what the heck is under the hood Jeff!! Hypothetically of course.

Ok, I need serious help. I found myself staring lustfully at the pic of six of them in a rack and GASsing HARD! And they do not yet exist!
The audio sound/performance ii take as a given but I must say I think they are the coolest looking (theoretical) 500 series modules in (pre) existence ever.

Yeah,OMG,in the thread where I showed pictures of the sidecar I'm building, I said I wished I could build one with all Sound Skulptor and one all CAPI. Seeing these makes me want to win the lottery so I can actually do that.
