[sdiy] New dsPIC chips with on-chip audio DACs

[Adam Fothergill]

Looks rather fun,  I've always wanted to work out a way to do a 1U  
Fairlight or PPG like hybrid using an array of modern pics or atmegas :)
It could work quite well for some interesting vintage like dsp FX  
units also, Im all for grungy sound followed with a bit of analog  
filtering!!
