TI ezDSP USB Stick : DIY Synth, sampler & effects

via this auction

"This is the Texas Instruments TMS320VC5505 eZdsp USB Stick... what????
Despite Ti's bad naming convention, this is probably one of their coolest musician-hacker gizmos on the market. It's an entire DSP platform with USB, Stereo In & Out, and expansion pins galore for buttons, knobs & LEDs. This is a killer way to learn a bit about DSP, and create your own unique sound machine without having to know any electronics.

Think of it as a music Arduino on steroids! This kit has everything you need to plug into your computer and start making sound."

"Just had it recently serviced, everything works on it except for the aftertouch. If you look at other Arp Qudra's the aftertouch does not work on them, this is a known issues with these. Once the aftertouch dies it cannot be fixed. The tech that I had work on it works on modular moog synths and if it could have been fixed it would have been fixed, he said there was no way to fix the aftertouch. Another known thing about this board is that if the keyboard is not on a flat surface the membrane can act funny and some of the buttons light up when not pressed, all Arp Quadra's are known for this. As long as it is on a stable surface it should be fine. I had mine on a keyboard stand and it worked fine."
