Computer Music is a pretty good magazine but $14.00 a copy in the USA.

The Korg Oasys is $500.00 at Guitar Center.

      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. 
     
  Any URLs for these ? 

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