I'm not talking making it commercial
just build for your own sake
and if you do that with say 10 persons, and everybody takes up tasks and
try to find the right parts for the best price, think it's not that expensive
Perhaps use the original sdx as a blueprint of how it should work and function
and use a PC/mac as interfacing and sampler
So interfacing to the PC/mac would be the issue and writing an app
I think it can work on an atari 1040st
costs 30 euro's and a lot of time too write the app
Sounds easy right??
Sorry but I can't write any computerprogram, I can solder and build so who
knows, someone have any ideas
