soundart hot chameleon: an audio DSP engine
  DSP Module

Chameleon Audio-DSP from the Spanish company "Sound Art Hot": A programmable studio device with integrated signal processor, lot of audio peripherals with exchangeable firmware.
See chameleon.synth.net


 
Various modules like synthesizer, compressor, stereo processor and delay are available.  The hardware consists of a Motorola cold fire-CPU (MCF5206e), similar to 68000 with 32Bit support and the Motorola 56303, a digital signal processor of the 56k type.  Furthermore there is additional periphery like AD-converters and DA-Converters, potentiometers, knobs, buttons and LEDs + a job wheel.



I ported some of the algorithms for virtual analog modeling formerly developed for TMS320 to chameleon.

A current project with the chameleon is echo cancelling

 In the meanwhile some algorithms were ported to a FPGA platform:
