Mouintan Wiev Phase accumulator

[Jim Patchell]

    This will probably not be much help, but if you can locate a copy of Hal
Chamberlains _Musical Applications of Microprocessors_ ,  he has several
chapters that deal with this subject.

    I have been giving some thought to this topic as well.  The circuits in
Hal's book are a bit dated.  These types of things can be pretty easily
implemented in software, even on a pretty modest PC these days.  Or you can
implement them in firmware in a DSP chip, and if you are really hardcore,
and want a hardware solution, a Xilinx gate array could implement this
fairly easily.  I wish I could afford the Virtex chips, you could build
quite a machine in one of those.

    Also, DAC's these days are CHEAP.  I was looking at 24 bit DAC's on the
Burr Brown web site (for use in a motion controller, not a musical
application :-(  ) and was stunned at how little they cost.  Burr Brown has
a 6 channel DAC (24 bits, 192KHz Sample Rate) that they list for $8 (in
1000's I assume).

    But, I am attempting to resist the Digital Demon....he will not sway me
from the true path of analog....
