I am following this "C to VHDL" thing now for 15 years. Mentor had a tool to do that already in 2005. Up to now, the basic issue never changed: C/C++ has not the options to define those things which are required to generate an application specific hardware. But exactly this is the point about

Hi Paula and others I wrote so many articles about where and when to use FPGAs for wave synthesis, that I cannot count them anymore. Only some short words in reply: I agree that FPGAs do offer design techniques that cannot be done with DPSs. But I hardly see them being made real in music

A HHR performes both simple reflection and self oscillation. At the beginning of the triggering phase the sound runs into it and is reflected at the inner walls. A little part of the sound comes out through the hole while a larger part is reflected creating steady waves as known in all rooms
