V-synth hardware

Anybody know what hardware forms the basis for
the V-synth. Is it a DSP-based design or a standard
pc-type hardware base?

V-Synth is a completely software synthesizer, it's OS does all audio processing and synthesis.

Yes, of course it is software based, but I was wondering
about the hardware platform (because software needs
hardware to execute).
Is it, like, Intel-based platform running RT-linux, ASIC-based,
or Texas Instruments DSP running a proprietary OS-construction
or.. what is it?

Proprietary OS I would say...like any synth.

Ok, do you know what CPU they are using?

SH-4 as I remember. But they don't use Linux otherwise they'd post the kernel/base sources on their FTP like they did for their Linux-based Edirol video stuff.

Yes... I looked at the SH-4, a pretty impressive piece of
CPU.
