<FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>I 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> <BR><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...
