[sdiy] Reinventing the wheel? (or ring?)

Or perhaps a strange chorusing? Depends a *lot* on the relative freqs and
waveshapes.

Huge difference between in-phase and random phase, I'd guess. If you could
force them to be in phase, you could [I assume] force them to be outtaphase,
which should sound different -- a frequency doubling effect?

No.
Not that I know of (but we've seen how accurate that is ;-).
Definitely! (But I dunno how to build it.)
