PAULA MIDI SYNTH BOX Like SID BOX?

[freqmax]

Build your own synth(tm) ?

(and run circles around the commercial ones..)

Usually it's a lot of propietary mess for such applications..

Otoh, one could remove the MCU and wire the I/O pads to the Amiga for that cool gadget function. Different .mod music depending on the washing phase

How was the soundchip "Philips SAA1099" btw?
(speaking of OPL..)

AdLib missed the PCM.
Soundblaster missed the syntheziser quality, but got a second chance due PCM.

Funny thing is that the Canadian state bought AdLib to prevent Creative/SB to do it. That's little unusual.

I see two options:
 * A card with a PCB-2-PCB connection such that small chip specific PCB:s can be made and inserted into a generic MIDI-PCB. Chip types and channels can be added as desired.
 * Big MIDI circuit that features sockets for different synthesizer chips. If you need different or more channels than the designer thought of - bad luck.
