I was quite pleased to hear about the NeXT machine's DSP capabilities.
It would seem that it would now be possible to create a real spiffo
sound sampling/editing system using the NeXT machine as a cheap
substrate...  the nifty UI software could allow for a lot of different
graphical views of the sound making process. 

Does anybody know of companies or universities that are making music
software for the NeXT machine? (This would include sampling editors,
sampling keyboards, sequencers, music notation editor/players, midi
controllers...)

And finally a technical question -- the DSP chip on the NeXT machine doesn't
have any A/D or D/A channels, right? What kind of A/D and D/A channels
are provided with the NeXT box? (How many channels, number of bits, speed,
etc.)
