The ATSAM9753 integrates into a single chip an ATSAM97xx core (64-slot DSP and 16-bit processor), a 32K x 16 RAM, an LCD display interface and a scanner, allowing direct connection to velocity-sensitive keyboards, switches, LEDs and sliders. With the addition of a single external ROM or Flash and a stereo DAC, a complete low-cost musical instrument can be built that includes reverb and chorus effects, parametric equalizer, surround effects, orchestrations, pitch-bend and wheel controller, without compromising on sound quality. The ATSAM9753 is packaged in a standard 144-lead TQFP package.
