Death of Kantos?

This one in via Brian Comnes:

"Antares, the folks who brought you the ever famous "Cher-effect" with Autotune have apparently dropped their Kantos product. It is nowhere to be found on their site.

This is one weird softsynth and it has my all time favorite user interface, a copy of which is below for your posterity files. I see it and I think of Will Smith in the Martian cruiser in Men in Black.

Kantos used audio in as the driver for a 2 oscillator synth and a whole lot of other sound shaper/benders, the characteristics of the sound in could be used as a mod matrix for any and all of the parameters in the tool. Needless to say it produced weird stuff. On my more cynical days I would take George W. Bush sound clips on the Iraq war and turn those into break beats. If i can find one I'll send it later. I also use it to take my guitar to strange strange places.

My guess it is it did not sell well and hence the withdrawal.

For those who want grab some history, those wonderful Wisconsin folks at www.novamusik.com are having a blow out sale for $49. Warning: It has that BS online challenge response authentication so it is limited pretty much to one computer and I worry for how long they will support that, 'cause I get a new computer about every 18 months

Peace
Brian"

Moog vs. Big Briar Moogerfoogers

Analog Industries has a post up on his Moogerfoogers. What's intersting is he noticed a difference between the Big Briar and the Moog build quality. He states both are built like a tank, but the Big Briar pedals feel more solid. Title link takes you to the post. If anyone has a pedal from each, please feel free to comment.
