[Fpga-synth] XSOC ?

Does anyone have any experience or inside info on this?  

There is a "beta" zip file on the site.  It's a 16 bit RISC processor
written in synthesizable Verilog for an FPGA.  I'm wondering if this might
be useful in writing a MIDI controller capable of controlling a 16 voice
polysynth.  I know I could probably do it with PicoBlaze, but I think a 16
bit MCU would make that a bit easier.
