[sdiy] Camel*ont* soft Da synth!

[karl dalen]

I know Paul M is found of it, its a good idea but
i cant really understand it!

They say:

:We even resurrected the MIDI engine from the Atari ST 
:to give the Chameleon the tightest timing.

Why? Really strange marketing claims, i mean who want to
run the *old* internal 68000 ST midi handling on a Coldfire?

Secondly *one* 56xxx DSP? Only ONE? That's pretty crap for the 
price they ask! Why in the supremebeeings name didnt they make
a 20+ DSP unit or modular DSP based on SIM sticks, it virtually
cost nothing in HW to implement it!

I would really like to have a KYMA thing without the Kyma price!

To me it really sounds that a group of former uni studens 
took one of Mot's DSP dev boards and built a aluminium box 
around it! particularely when reading that a Coldfire is used
to handle Midi and 4 front panel potentiometers! UGH!

Sorry Paul, no offence ment! ;-)
