New synth on a PCI card !
Interesting, a new synth out in December - called IKARON - it comes on a PCI card:
Frei Audiotechnik, a Swiss manufacturer of musical instruments, introduces Ikaron, a modular synthesizer for the PC. The PCI card acts like an independent sound generator that can be accessed comfortably on the PC. It offers individual inputs and outputs as well as five DSPs providing computational power for up to 64 voices. You can choose among over 40 modules to build your own synths: Virtual analog components, sampling, FM, wave sets, and effects. No profound knowlegde of synthesizer architectures is needed to connect them, as there's a framework where the modules can be inserted. Ikaron will become available in December 2002. It’s shipped ex works for EUR 865.- (excl. VAT).
It has a s/w control & editing s/w including a sample editor.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
