don't see this as off topic at all, if you intend to brew your own software
synthesizer.</FONT></FONT> <FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=-1>Korg Claims
that their OASYS is open architecture. You can write your own synthesizer
and effects code. Definitely a serious synthDIY project. The board has
5 motorola DSP chips.</FONT></FONT> <FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=-1>Yamaha
has the SW1000-XG. Good synthesizer but proprietary. The SW1000-XG accepts
one of the PLG100-XX or PLG150-XX as an additional synthesizer daughter
card. The PLG150-DX is an excellent DX-7 and then some.</FONT></FONT>

<P>Any URLs for these ?
<P>As for the Chameleon box, AFAIR there was a discussion about it
<BR>some time ago on the music-dsp list, and I think I remember that some
<BR>members went to the conclusion that it wasn't the best choice for DSP
<BR>development, and that there were better options...
<BR>IMHO it could be a good idea to search the archives before taking the
<BR>plunge...
