Next Project

    I am afraid I am being drawn down the dark path of digital.
(auugghh!!)

    I have always wanted to build a digital.  I have been looking at the
Altera ACEX1K devices.  It looks like you could get a complete digital
synth in one of these things (yea- I know I could use something like the
56303 or Sharc, but I am a hardware dude).  I think it would be able to
put 256 24 bit oscilators, a 16x16 multilplier and 256 16 bit envelope
generators in a single device, probably the EP1K100000.  Speed?  This
part should be able to do all this at a 96KHz sample rate.  The primary
things I am thinking of is doing additive and/or Phase Modulation
synthesys.  I think I have even figured out a simple way of doing
different algorithms in the chip to accomplish different things...

    Anyway, this is a long way off.  Got to finish my current big
projects.
