soundart hot chameleon: an audio DSP engine
 DSP Module

Chameleon Audio-DSP from the spanish company "Sound Art Hot": A programmable studio device with a signal processor, lot of audio peripherals with an exchangeable firmware. All DSP software can be add by the user himself:  See chameleon.synth.net

Sound Art Hot Chameleon Audio DSP
 
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:
