I'm studying DSP-filters the last few months. I'm working on a Atari030
which has a Motorola 56001 DSP on board, as well as a 16Bit ad/da stereo CODEC, I think made by Crystal.
The whole system is capable of 8 channel/50Khz sampling/processing.
I haven't learned that much yet, but I recall there were some window coefficients necessary to keep the filter-things within range.
Not much help I quess...
Anybody else working on a Falcon out there?
