I'm just getting in to C++ programming and noticed that there are compilers for just about any processor there is.
Would'nt it be possible to write a compiler that makes it into a Scope whatever.
I know i ain't going to write one but would'nt it be "realtively" (with BIG quotaition marks) easy to write one?
Then we could have a lot of these free VSTi:s, some which are really good, for our Scope/Pulsar/Luna systems.
I know i dream of more or less impossible things but it would'nt be that hard would it.

Theoretically though, I think it should be possible to make a compiler. But the guy who's going to built it needs to be able to breath bits and bytes, eat megabytes, and speak assembly language. And maybe have a power cable growing out of his butt.

Come to think about it: is'nt there a C++ compiler for Sharc:s on Analog Devices hompage?
Could one not build a kind of wrapper for this in Scope DP?

There is a C++ compiler at the analog devices site.
Hmmmmm
A C++ compiler outputs machine code.
To make your own atoms you must program them in Assembler?
Hmmmmmm...
I think i'm on to something here.
Please don't prove me wrong.
I hate that.

Why not just ask the manufacturer?

I just mailed them.
Hope i get an answer soon or at all.
BTW i have a feeling if they don't answer it is a good sign generally!
They have answered almost all of my mail and when they did'nt, the solution came in an upgrade.
So if they don't answer, i have a feeling that they are working on it but don't wan't to give away any secrets or making premature promisies.
This is what i think,not what i know.
Stay positive.
What seems to be a negative thing might as well be something positive.
