Agh someone beat me to it was RE: [A6] neuron

[Rhen, Kris]

Just a guess, but I'd bet some flav of linux - otherwise the cost for an NT

licensing - and it'd have to contact Microsoft every week to validate your
copy :-)

Wow...A PC.... Inside a synth...

Scary so scary... Blue screen....

Hopefully they are using something other then NT as a "real time" os.
