I assume you will convert FSK to MIDI Clock, or some kind of sync? That
would be a great application for owners of legacy audio gear that uses
FSK to sync up, like an old Roland TR-626 drum machine, and some older
Tape Sync devices - could be quite useful in a hybrid studio with
multitrack tape machines and tape synchronizers as well... I would
think that one might either want to have a stand alone application that
appears as a MIDI input port to applications like Logic - so that Logic
(or other MIDI software) could sync to the FSK gear. I would imagine
that an audio unit would be more appropriate for an FSK generator -
convert the internal application time, or MIDI clock, into FSK.
Let me know when you have something to release!

I have never implemented an FSK decoder, but I believe that it should

the audio range. An external receiver would be needed for this.
However, there are certainly FSK schemes which are not modulated at
such high frequencies, and thus you may not need any external
electronics before the audio interface inputs. Just remember that
you'll typically have only about 20 kHz bandwidth. You can have more

Oh, the radio receiver is already downshifting the signal. I have
audio, well under 20 kHz. My question was more about the interface to
an AudioUnit: obviously, samples come in, but my AU doesn't produce
samples of audio data out; it produces a bit stream.
Does this fit within the model, or would I end up finding some other
outlet for my data?
The reason an FSK demodulation AU seemed appropriate for this is that
it does take audio data in. Furthermore, it might be preceded by
filters or other DSP.
