Amiga DSP sound cards - any creative uses?

[Matt_H]

Take a look at The Dave Haynie Archives to see what could have been with a DSP. There were plans to make it a true co-processor before Commodore imploded / management cancelled it.

There is a full Amiga devkit available for the M56002 on the Delfina, so one could conceivably write something cool for it.

Following on from our ZorRAM and MAS Player Evolution projects, we are in the early stages of product development on a new Amiga Zorro card with a modern DSP.

I would be grateful for valuable feedback from Amiga users out there on what features you would like to see on this card and what features you would like in the software.  

It's going to be a notable software and hardware development cost, so we want to get the features right for the Amiga Community.

I hope new project will be a catalyst for Amigans to be creative in sound and audio projects.

Hot damn! That's wonderful news! While I'm dreaming, hardware wise, it would be neat if you can make it connectable via Zorro or Clockport (I think Jens Schoenfeld made some boards like this in the past) and if it could support both Zorro II and Zorro III. I'd also like to see onboard ports for audio mixing (4-pin audio from CD drives, some other connector for Paula, and 1-2 more?) to allow a single audio-out connection for the whole system. Software wise, AHI is essential, as is a driver compatible with the mpeg.device API (cd32mpeg.device, delfinampeg.device, etc.). And I suppose a software mixer will be needed, too.
