Might also be fun to see if Codex/Claude is able to port an existing 56K emulated synth/effect back to the Chamie :) Microwave II, would require some coldfire trickery as well...

> Nice to see some chameleon noise in music-bar again… My Chameleon has been exclusively running Tony HB’s Entitysynth for years, mostly because I’m too lazy to break out the old chameleon SDK laptop and load up something else on it, but with all the AI musictech hacking going on it’s probably time to get the SoundArt platform into The Usual Suspects” field of view and get the Chameleon virtualized the same way that the Mot56k-based Virus/Waldorf hardware et al., have been virtualized. Probably a low hanging fruit for someone, sooner or later … this way Joost’s thingy and all the other nice toys (Paula’s Monowave) can make their way into The Usual Suspects new plugin manager, which would be great for everyone, imho.  A pity we don’t have Paula still among us to discuss this, I’m sure she’d be interested in seeing a virtual Chameleon…

Monowave II and Faze-One I'm sure have their local boosters, but I'm curious about the FX skins, especially. I seem to recall Infiltrator being pretty powerful.
