[sdiy] HARDWARE soft-synths??

[John L Marshall]

I don't see this as off topic at all, if you intend to brew your own software synthesizer.

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.

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.
