Justin Frankel Reveals Life After Winamp 247
Joseph Gelinas writes "Speaking out for the first time on life after AOL/Nullsoft, Winamp creator Justin Frankel sat down with BetaNews to discuss his new endeavors. Starting a new company called Cockos, Frankel is leaving behind the mass market for his musical roots, but hints at revolutionary -- and presumably controversial -- things to come."

I guess Jesusonic might be easier to control on-the-road than having a point and click computer to process your effects, but that is the only bonus I see to having it rather than a computer. But since it has a keyboard, I'm skeptical. If this was meant for the studio, I'd rather have a computer.

Loads more effects, low latency and a much nicer interface than Jesusonic.

nothing new, nothing novel (Score:4, Informative)
95%+ of the posters on /., and perhaps even Frankel himself seem entirely unaware that the idea of his jesusonic project is nothing new at all.
there are several so-called "RT VST hosts" that do the same thing, and several standalone programs. most have been around for several years.
even on Linux (even!) we have tools like JackRack and EcaMegaPedal, not to mention the world's best live looper (SooperLooper). maybe Frankel's ideas about triggers might represent some slightly novel model for this kind of thing, but the authors of most of the stuff I've mentioned could probably add them in a day or two.

However the best stuff is of course still analogue and remains quite pricey.

You can get a behringer foot pedal with eleven switches and two rocker pedals for about £100.
It works rather well.
