D16 909, 303, 808 emulators now in AU format

The Logic users amongst you (me included) might be interested to hear that the D16 guys have released their 808, 909 and 303 emulators in AU format: http://www.d16.pl/index.php?menu=2

Personally I think their 303 emulator, Phoscyon, is pretty close to the real thing. Not 100% close but maybe 70% close, if I had to chose a number (which is silly really as you can't quantify these things). When played beside a real 303 you can hear the difference but it's still decent.

I don't currently own a 909, but a friend who has owned a few says their 909 emulator, Drumazon, is very close to the real thing. We both agree that their 808 emulator is the weakest of the three though, there's something about the 808 that makes it harder to emulate. The real 909s hi-hats and cymbals are samples anyway, so technically they can be almost perfectly replicated.

Anyway there are working demo versions available from their site, so you can check them out yourself. PS, I don't work for them, I just think they've done a half decent job emulating some classic machines.
