[sdiy] Nord Modular DIY

[Simon Brouwer]

Right, so the MS2000 used a 100 MIPS DSP56362 for 4 voices of polyphony. 

I get that a DSP is significantly more efficient in signal processing tasks than
a general purpose processor, but  wouldn't a STM32F446 (225 MIPS) be able to
achieve similar performance? 

Best regards
Simon
