I think this looks really interesting.

Re: Valkyrie
It appears to use floating point hardware chips such as found in a graphics processor to provide the horsepower to implement enough parallel oscillators and DSP algorithms to support 128 voice polyphony.
I haven’t seen a pricepoint.

Re: Valkyrie
No it uses a field programmable gate array, which is really nothing like the hardware chips found in graphics processors.sweelinck wrote:It appears to use floating point hardware chips such as found in a graphics processor to provide the horsepower to implement enough parallel oscillators and DSP algorithms to support 128 voice polyphony.

Graphics processors are still primarily general purpose processors that you run software on. FPGA's are hardware based. You design your circuits as if you were building physical hardwired circuits. In order to change the functionality you have to literally re-program the configuration of the internal logic gates.

In a couple of videos the guy behind it said "well below 2000 euros".sweelinck wrote:I haven’t seen a pricepoint.
The only bad thing about it is that it is not available right now.
If it sounds as good as it promises, a lot of manufacturers will be getting nervous.
Apparently there are also rack and keyboard versions in the make.
