looking to build a delay, chorus, reverb, etc ?  this might be a nice "kick start" for ya !

Great one, Thanks!

The C6727 is a frighteningly powerful chip. At 300 MHz, you get 2400 MIPS/1800 MFLOPS.

1.8 GigaFLOPS!?!?!? 1.8 GigaFLOPS!!?!!?!

Just for a little skewed perspective, the Original Cray I supercomputers were rated at 166 MFLOPS.

The Eval board is $2K from Lyrtech but it comes with 8 channels of 192K 24bit A/D/A!

That's pretty incredible.  A person could do some seriously rad DSP with a 1.8 GFLOP chip at a very fast sample rate.  You could even do it in C and not worry about "wasted" instructions.  24 bits I once figured is about at the thermal noise floor assuming a 5V reference.  You would probably be quite accurately sampling analog noise.  I would have a really hard time believing somebody that thought 24 bit at 192k sounded "digital".

Get a whole bunch of RAM and you would have an incredible FX processor platform.  It's all just a simple matter of programming.

P.S.
FLOPS, for you who are not familiar with DSP, means FLoating point Operations Per Second

Here's a much more "in depth" PDF than the one posted at the start of the thread.
