[sdiy] Question:

    DSP chips are made primarily by:Analog Devices (Sharc, etc), Texas
Instruments (TMS320), Motorolla (DSP56xxx).  Any of the high performance parts
from these companies will work.  Some of the supply eval boards that have a
DSP, and an AD/DA converter on it.  This might be a cheap and easy way to get
into the Digital synth arena.

    And if you want to roll your own DSP, the either the Xilinx Virtex or the
Altera ACEX FPGA's are a good choice (it is increadible what you can do with
just, oh, say 100,000 gates).  :-)
