Raspberry pi

[Paul Maddox]

Tony,

  I agree with you, I can see so many uses for this, and the fact that you can put the OS and any updates to code and FPGA images on an SD card make this a killer "main engine" for me. And rest assured anything I do won't look like a computer :)

  I can also see a lot of other uses, hell I've seen it running XBMC, that means I can replace my mac mini with a match box.

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 ;)
