Hi, i am currently working with Microchip chips to build synthesizers.
The big problem is they dont give the full optimized compiler for free, so i cannot get the best out of theyr chips.
Currently i can only build a monophonic synthesizer with the unoptimized DSPICFJ128GP802, i would like to build a polyphonic synthesizer.
Sometimes i read about cortex chip being the fastest, so i signed up here with my questions :
Do i get here fully optimized C/C++ compiler for free ?
Are your chips also in DIP package ?
How many pins are the DIP package maximum ?, with Microchip i only get 28 pin DIP, i would like to have 40 pin.
Does one of your chips has build in audio DAC ?, i currently use DSPICFJ128GP802, i am very happy because it has a build audio DAC.
Does your chips have hardware UART build in ?, i need this to receive MIDI data.
Thanks in advance, greetings
