Well, "pommes frites" ( fried apples ) is right as well. The reason for that is the potato in french can be called "patate" or "pomme de terre" ( apple of earth ). So that is why "pommes frites" is "fried apples". Will that fact change the latency of that SuperIO device?

After all the complaints about waiting for AT2. I am looking forward to something other than its release. I eagerly await the first complaints about bugs in AT2 and same folks will then shift to posting about how IK should have taken more time to test the thing more before releasing it. Kind of like anticipating the turning of the leaves in fall.

Hey I've been reading this thread from the beginning without saying a word. But now that I have a clue about what's going on, I can tell you this few facts :
-in France we call "french fries" -> "frites" and that's all, plain simple.
-"french fries" (or "frites" now that you know) are indeed belgian and are originally fried in beef fat (dunno if that makes sense to any of you guys)
-one fun thing is that we don't use that word "patates frites" all that much and you will mostly see that on foreign websites. Same goes with "pommes frites". (A3ntar's explanation of the word is acurate)
Now how much fatter will AT2 be compared to AT1, huh ?

It's pretty funny that we are talking about French Fries while waiting for AT2..... forever, because we don't have anything else to talk about.
Where are the MP3 demos?

Their marketing department must be pleased.

Just thinking, if Squids and others are now creating presets, when do you think we will see the actual product?
I mean you need to finalize the presets, set it up, print the CD's, package them, distribute them world wide and lunch.
The last word was mid November but I have a feeling that will not happen either.

you want I should send all my leaves to the squid? (spoken like akroyd)

Well, also, *if* people are doing presets allready, they should be able to deliver a few teasing sounds too, don't you think?

psych, so you're actively wishing bad fortune on somebody? Tsk, tsk. Cheer up, lad, the world's not all that bad that you need to share misery with people!

We call it pommes frites in Norway for some strange reason. I don't know why...

Anyway, some mp3 samples of AT2 would be nice. I might trade in my PodXT Pro for this thing if it sounds/feels really good. I hope it does

If only the presets are left, you can leave those out if it was up to me. I never care for factory presets anyway...

You French have a different word for EVERYTHING! (just kidding...that's from a Steve Martin stand up routine).

Interestingly, I was on my way to Sweden for the Props' Reason 3 release party and I got STUCK in FRANCE at the airport. They decided to go on strike the same day I arrived. This was HORRIBLE. I waited in line all day long for flight after flight that got cancelled. The worste part about it is that they gave us hope up until midnight and then said we had to sleep in the airport. If I knew it was hopeless I could have gone into Paris and had some Frites.

Actually, I did finally take a cab into Paris but it was too late to do anything fun.

I used to have a girlfriend who lived in Bordeaux. She was the lead singer of a French progrock band. I drank so much wine when I was there that I swear after a while I could understand French!

Btw, Hink that was a good one about the apples.

Steve Martin was hilarious until he stopped doing coke.

Mp3s are coming very soon. As for the product release... well, when it is ready of course! You guys are right though. It takes a little while for everything to be put together. Hang in there! At least there will be more and more information, audio examples (maybe a video demo) and other things coming in the meantime. Plus, we've been having some good discussions about this stuff. The other thread about AT presets requests has gotten really interesting. This thread sort of got into French Fries but... I have to say that as much as I am not a McDonalds fan they DO have great fries... especially in Sweden.

He does Pepsi now? (that joke SUCKED btw, don't think I know... but what the heck!).

Yeah, something happened to Steve. I imagine someone said to him (don't act like "The Jerk"! Act like a regular watered down nice fella). So, he did Roxanne and Father of the Bride with success and that was that! No more Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid... no more Man with Two Brains... no more Navin R. Johnson (typical bastard)... hello "Bringing Down the House" with Queen Latifah.

Amplitube 2 Jimi Hendrix RELEASED this month!!!
