[comp.sys.mac] Macs and DSP

hedstrom@uvicctr.UVic.ca.UUCP (Brad Hedstrom) (09/23/89)

My supervosore informed me a few days ago that we have about $20k to spend on
a DSP workstation. Since I've been a mac user since the 128k days, I'd like to
develop the system around the Mac II (or IIci!!, although a NeXT would be
nice, too).  I have not been able to find any DSP boards for the Mac. If
anyone knows of any, or has any experiences with Mac DSP products, please send
me a note (email please).

Thanks...

Assuming that you can live with working in the audio frequency range (which
I imagine covers most applications of DSP's), a company called Digi-Design
can help you out.  They primarily target the professional music industry, and
there Sound Tools product includes a 56k based DSP board, a stereo 44.1kHz
A-D-A interface, and software to do direct-to-disk recording, as well as a lot
of real-time and non-real-time processing.  The Sound Tools system goes for
about $3000, not including a Mac II of some sort, or an SE/30.

I hope this helps....

Zola Technologies (404-843-2972) sells a good filter design package with
56000 code generation capabilities for the Mac (II or SE I think).
It can be used to drive the Digi-Design board described by Dean Swan.
