Ah, thanks! ;)

It was really the level I was looking for, not perfection ;)

Didn't you notice that I let the frequency tracking pick up the
fundamental, and then let the BBDs run "overclocked" on the
fundamental. Thus, one BBD would fetch one cycle when the other is
playing out its cycle. The sampling picks every second cycle. You
could even duplicate the BBDs so that you would sample every cycle and
then play it out simultaniously and use the average.

There will be a glitch, but who said it was perfect? I never did.
Also, *some* character must be associated with this device ;)
Some durtiness, imperfection can be allowed ;)

That's basically what I let the BBDs do in this proposal.

Oh, there are loads of them, didn't you know? ;)

There is no limit on how stupid you can make a music appliance, people
will try to use it anyway, some will even master the interface. If we
didn't learn that up to the 70thies, we sure did learn that during the
80thies and 90thies. Honestly, in the process, a few goodies also
poped out, all of them can't be successfull as idiotics...
