Hi,
thanx, but I've used 8/16-bit controllers only, and besides, this
circuit is required to be cost-effective and quick to build

Are there any other requirements you are looking for that you did not
mention in your first post ??

Any micro with a DAC output may work for you:

The APR9600 seems to be bandwidth limited anyway, so your "music" may
not be real clear.

good luck

You mean, first convert the voice into digital using an ADC than store
it into EEPROM and while playing it keep sending EEPROM data to DAC??
that will ask for a huge EEPROM even for 30 sec (may be >1Mb, if i
sample at 50k). Though i've nevr tried audio signals on ADC/DAC, i can
try this one, but isn't there some simpler solution with inbuilt DAC
+memory+ADC???

The Eletech models look quite big! m thinking of a small PCB which can
fit into a toy kind of thing. At the moment i need less than 10 to be
fitted in a local store for playing continuously a theme music, which
may be required to change later..
Thanks.

It's more than DAC+Memory+ADC........ how is the memory controlled.......
how will you clock the address lines of the memory and detect the end and
loop arround?

have you looked at a 64kx8 memory? how any data lines , how many address
lines.... how will you clock the address lines..

A micro can take care of all this logic.
