As an absolute beginner, does anyone have some ideas on the following questions:
1. If combined with a DAC chip, would the Transputer be any good for sound wave
creation?
 
2. If so, to get a decent sound quality, and with an ability to play 28 notes or
so simultaneously, which chip would be necessary?
 
3. What is the approx. price of the chips required to meet Q2. above?
 
Basically, I am interested in making a home-brew synthesizer using digital
algorithms, linking a transputer or two on a PC-card. Is this feasable or
not?
