I, for one, could not care less about the physical size.  Get it ready for prime time and bring out the whole enchilada version even if it has to be 6RU.  I look forward to it.

So is that the code name for the DSP Algorithm? The Enchilada filter?

 

[watchnerd]

I'm shallow.  
 
I'll wait for the Freya-cased version so it stacks symmetrically.

 

[AudioBear]

But is it bit-perfect?

I'm curious whether Mexican is mikes favorite cuisine, or whether Latin American food in general appeals to him. I know he has spoken at length about his time in repressive regimes in South America and the bad cheese the people had to suffer through. Hopefully there was other food that provided some salve.

Is there a distinct connection between naming conventions and a love of food south of the border? There's something incongruous but wonderful about mixing Norse and Mexican cultural traditions. I do admit a slight preference for the German equivalents. Had Ragnarok been christened Götterdämmerung, there is no question I would've skipped Mjolnir and gone straight for it.

So you're thinking maybe smoked herring mole'?  Hmm.

That actually sounds really good.  LOL.

My wife is from Peru. I bet Mike likes lomo saltado!

I wonder what the Manhattan would do to more experimental or noise rock? I'm curious to see what it's effects are on Sonic Youth.

Hola Mike,
 
Soy la esposa de Scott. La comida Peruana es una de las mas ricas del mundo. Me alegro que te guste. 
 
Si alguna vez estas en Covina, CA, no te olvides de buscar un restaurante Peruano que se llama, Mr. Pollo. Es un restaurante chiquito pero la comida es requisima!
 
Scott le encanta tus productos. A mi me gusta el nombre, Schiit. En Marketing, es importante resaltar. La otra cosa que me gusta es que no sean tan caros.
 
Saludos,
 
Monica

 During the first 25+ years of existence, the burrito filter was unnamed.  Jason began referring to it as the megaburrito as that was far simpler and less than stilted than "time and frequency domain optimized preserving all original samples" - it ended up sticking.  The Guacamole version was named by me while in a dreamlike state listening to the MP.
 
I theorize that the reason the Germans lead the world in beer contenders is because of the need to get drunk before partaking of their own Cuisine.  Their paucity of culinary understanding is more than made up for by their musical capabilities and sense of musical aesthetics.  I tried, maybe I need other experiences.
 
One look at my midsection reveals my culinary polyglot tendencies.  I certainly favor many Central/Southern American cuisines, particularly those of Peru and Argentina.  My favorite cuisine in the world is Basque at its best, and heartily recommend a trip to San Sebastian as a bucket list item. 
 
Yes, I delight in Mexican cuisine - especially the Veracruz southern region's penchant for fine seafood.
 
Damn, and now I am headed down a long road - Sushi, made by a Japanese chef who understands why it takes years to learn how to properly make the rice, and keeps to traditional centuries old constructs; NOT mango gas treated zebra rolls, mexican chingon rolls, or rainbow spring sunshine happiness rolls.  I could go on forever but it is very OT.  Forgive me.

  Genres helped by Manhattan:  Classical, jazz, rock, of all kinds, any 2 or three chord music such as non pop country, blues.  Even pop music if you can get by the autotune.
Genres not helped by Manhattan:  techno, rave stuff, many forms of electronic music not based on melodic western musical theory, rap, pentatonic or most traditional forms of Asian music such as Chinese opera, pre-medieval western music, and that form of classical music based on twelve tone scales (Second Vienese School).
 
In short, if it is western music with conforming scales, you are probably OK. 

 
What would it do to Bollywood? 

 They often mix western and non-western tonalities.
 
 
 
But seriously, might Manhattan degrade the sound if something starts playing that it wasn't intended for? What about a live concert recording that has lots of ambient audience sounds?

 

[Clemmaster]

Is Manhattan more "poulet basquaise" or "gâteau basque"?

Tasty, either way.
