ODP: understanding some terms and theory

[Roman Sowa]

If you're familiar with DSPs and stuff, then you know how...
But seriously, there was a little thread about wavetable VCO,
but seems like everybody on the list hate me after what I proposed.

Better sounds can be made with modelling than wavetable, but wavetable
is much easier.

I'd say... take phase accumulator, fliter wavetable samples within
some range covering last sample and just calculated and out to DAC
and sometimes you need to interpolate, blah, blah, blah... 
It's way too digital for this list
