Sound synthesis

ehdyn

··· Greetings,
I'm interested in this chip. I can see that it can handle real-time FFT's. That's a good start for the product I'm looking to make. Do you think it could excel at Sound synthesis? How hard would it be to get this chip talkingwith a big block of RAM, an Analog Devices DSP, or an FPGA?


Any, and all replies are appreciated.

The poll functionality has been disabled, I deleted your (near) duplicate post, duplicate posts are not permitted.

And check out this thread: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=650939·which shows connection of FPGA and memory to a Propeller. There is similarly no issue with connecting a Propeller to a DSP.

There are also some drivers for sound availible:

Thank you Paul
The double post was unintentional. The lag made me think my message was discarded.
Glad to hear the chip can accept good company. Are there any restrictions on products incorporating this chip? Would I be allowed to market and sell a hardware synthesizer freely? Thank-you for the links-I will study them carefully.

We have no restrictions on commercial development, if you choose to base a product on a customer written object, of course you'll need to contact them. But all Parallax code is royalty free.
