My experience with a client running a CS3000, was that it ran on a 386. I also had a client who was using a Harrison Series 12, which sounded really good, but a maintenance nightmare now, running on one of those original apple computers that was a square desk top box, using 2 nubus cards & a CRT touch screen. Try gettting hold of spares of any of those things now. In comparison the EUphonix is much more servicable. Ian Brown the U.K euphonix tech told me it was designed by someone who was a service tech at some point, so maybe that's why.Yes. I had forgotten about the DiAn but was aware at the time. Am I correct in thinking it all ran on a single Z80 micro ?.
Where the analogue circuits under the control surface itself or; n a remote mainframe ?
fwiw I think the Euphonix series ran on multiple Z80s.
Comparing the Harrison to the Euphonix, the Harrison is pretty clunky with huge racks & loads of ribbon cables. The Euphonix is a much more sleek design. Both are very power hungry, from memory we had to install a 22A feed @230v for the 56ch Euphonix.
