[AH] Design your own waveform synths?

[Samuel Luckenbill]

SoundEdit 16 on the mac can do this function, if you expand the wave to
the max resolution, you can move one speck of the wave at a time.  I think
it's pretty obnoxious, however, too slow to be functional.  I assume it's
a function for re-construction lost data, or taking out blips in live
preformance recordings.
