SubjectI want to build my own Hardware synth,
Dear Csounders,

    I have never found the "perfect" synth so I've just about decided to
build my own. Yes I know all the cons, but I wan't to take them on and
build my dream synth. Believe it or not I really am not interested in
making an analog synth. I wanted to base my creation loosely on the
Ensoniq TS-10/12 series synthesizers. Especially the listable Hyperwave
rom loop engine and I wanted to take this even further.
    My question is, how feesable is it to base a hardware synth on
csound? My knoledge of eproms and such is limited but I study the full
spectrum daily. I have a book on the way called "Digital projects for
musicians", from PAVO tech. inc.
    Any other must have synth building books, remember I want to end up
with a digital synth with a rom library as well as a synth engine maybe
based on Csound.

Thanks,
