An all digital synth with digital filtering all digital effects and of course MIDI control. The synth would use the digital signal proc. chips from TI or NEC. The syth is controlled real time by a master processor, I am bit-slice crazy so maybe a AMD 29116 would be a good fast start. The idea is the proc coordinates the dsp chips and the filtering parameters. The synth would of course be polyphonic and have a velocity kbd. I really think this is a potent combination. I may tool around with a design very soon. Hedley Rainnie Allied Corp NYU Brain labs Electro-optics div.
