Hi Mark, > Do you thik this little DSP could be used to generate distortion effects for > an electric guitar? Yes. In fact Alesis specialise in audio effects units for musicians and studios, so I expect that the Alesis DSP chip was originally developed for just that purpose. > Where could I learn about such things? I haven't really looked myself, but there are lots of audio effects sites on the Web. .................................
