Roman,

depends, if you wanna do it in assembler.

ahhh, but I dont intend to di tin a DSP, on a microcontroller, though not 
real time.

wish I understood C

sounds cool...

thants a lot of circuitry for what is essentially ONE oscilator, now make it 
polyphonic!!! Instant wardrobe sized synth..


What I want to do is make a polysynth, that will use wavetables to playback 
sound... but.. the tables are generated by a processor, douring a FT fade 
between TWO (or more) waveforms held in a rom.
