[sdiy] Looking for a specific sample-player/expander IC/module (Tsunami Super WAV ARM M7 module)

[Adrian Corston]

Sorry to be coming in late on this one but a good friend of mine built 
an entire poly-synth around this readily-available ARM M7-based sample 
playback module: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18159

His synth is pretty neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYeXDhLF1S8

Cheers,
A.
