Raspberry pi

[Tony Hardie-Bick]

The CPU is maybe five times as strong as the Chameleon's DSP, for equivalent audio processing. An FPGA would make it a competitive synth engine in a commercial sense, but from a creative point-of-view what's interesting is that the platform will give access to millions of programmers who just want to experiment and prototype as many different designs as possible, with, of course, pots and displays, LEDs, and hopefully a whole bunch of stuff nobody can yet imagine. Hopefully none of this stuff will look remotely like a computer ;) or even a synth, for that matter ;)

No guarantees, of course... I really hope this works out.
