Major thanks go out to Robb Neumann for tireless and exhaustive consultation and samples,

« Making allowances for what can be done in a VST,
the programming of the VST pretty much follows the original hardware.
Pressing buttons in sequence was a necessary evil.
So setting up the AREX 2011 requires some retro thinking.
Especially you have to imagine that the only way to record
was to a Tape recorder or Cassette deck.»
