PROGRAMMABLE COMPUTER CHIPS Next month, Metalithic Systems Inc. will release a $1500 sound board called Digital Wings that uses field-programmable gate array computer chips that can be personalized, allowing the user to create and edit up to 128 soundtracks. When used in combination with Windows 95, Digital Wings will give users access to audio synthesis and editing tools comparable to those of a professional sound studio. (Business Week 23 Sep 96 p86)
