[sdiy] DECISION TIME: need a Ucontroller/ARM/DSP chip that will process audio

[dan snazelle]

Ok so I have been having tons of luck with the arduino

i love it



BUT lately I have been wanting to make delays and flangers 


sadly, arduino just isnt that spectacular for audio processing.



SO i want to find something NOW 

A chip that will work with C or C++
 (spin Fv1 is out because its assembler based




I have heard many conflicting things about DSPICS but I KNOW you can make a delay with them

I know of some products that sound great that use them

i wonder if you could make a delay with an ARM ..maybe with the maple?




so I guess thats an option

what I want to know is what the options are.

Id like to have a platform, in front of me, in a week or two, that can


1. Read C with a free compiler of some sort
2. has hopefully more memory than the 8k of the arduino
3. ADC in and DAC out 
4. possibly DSP functions
5. 16 or 32bit




I am open to any format...i figure there has to be something other than arduino out there for effects.

thanks in advance!!!
