Interesting. I was interested in accelerated LADSPA for while, similar to the accelerated VST that cards like the TC PowerCore do (http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM01/Content/TC_Works/PR/PowerCore.html). The ever increasing speed of GPU's and price of the hardware (you partly paying for the propriatary plugin software that comes bundled) put me off. The big advantage (IMHO) of DSP processors is the guaranteed execution time, even if a current GPU can do more flops on average, you can;t rely on getting the same ammount of work done each block. For things like reverb algorithms that you want to use as much processor power as possible it nive to know where the limits are. Not to mention the CPU has to run the host software, and it would be nice to let it gen on with that. The Chameleon isn't quite as convienent as it can't be applied in-line as part of a LADSPA/JACK chain. - Steve
