I have the book, but not here where i am!

Yes one can that but thats not the fun part, a DIY DSP synth
is boring since DIY is about building your self so i thinked
why not do a Digital DIY synth!!

That is what im doing! Being hard core and Inplementing
the damned thing on a Gate array!
Not just a single oscillator but an entire Synth! !

Actually i dont think you need a Virtex
some of the lesser gated devices vill do fine!

Yes i saw that to, thats nice!

Well this is a hybride, 24 bit oscillator,
analogue wave shaping analogue filter and VCA.
Multiplexed 16 bit LFO and ENV etc.
