[sdiy-interim] Anyone try Cool Audio Chips yet?

[Loscha]

Rumor was that Behringer bought out a struggling fab company, I dunno
if that's true.
I couldn't find anything terribly concrete about it except some stuff
in google's cached pages indicating such. I didn't save these sources,
though.

 Their FX/DSP chip that is functionally identical to the Alesis chip
seems interesting. For 50 (Australian) dollars, you can get their
"Multi FX" pedal, the Fx100 which is a damn site cheaper than the
Alesis dev board (about 20% of the cost), and does essentially the
same thing, with a bit of hacking that wouldn't be beyond a Uni
student with some Uni type resources at their disposal.
 Download the docs of the dev board, get some code onto a serial
EEPROM and you're an all singing all dancing effects machine.

 you can "shit shot" the Cool Audio chip by shorting out random pins,
and it gives some very interesting (sometimes Ugly) non-linear effects
which make noise noises, sadly, without fancy pants equipment, you
wouldn't be able to duplicate the effects.

being bold about it.

Isn't Coolaudio part of Behringer?
