is possible to rewrite the OS from a synth to convert a sound card ? using midi to receive and send digital audio

no, but there are special synth that are built for this purpose, eg. the chameleon: http://www.chameleon.synth.net/english/index.shtml

developers can modify the OS to provide updates example access virus uses motorola 56k

with motorola 56k sdk is enough ?

you need to know everything about the Synth, especially the connections to the periphery and the protocol of the codec. But the main problem is that you have to know the bootloader that is programmed into the controller. If it's a 1:1 loader, then you could compile with a standard toolchain and upload it. If it's not, you'll need an encoder, that converts the compiled programm into something that the bootloader can decode. A simple mistake can damage the Synth completely and you'll not be able to reprogramm the Synth.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
