Hi Matt and all: If you wish to respond to the person that posted this article, you can point out the speakup will support any synth that we have the specs for and a working unit. There is no hallowed list. I suspect that this person wouldn't be happy no matter what it was. If it's free, it potentially steels their ability to sell a product. I would like to know what synth they make though. I would like to say welcome to all of the new subscribers. The subscription list has grown significantly since Matt posted the zipspeak announcement.
