[sdiy] jitter in oscillators for music purposes

true, therefore it is not phase modulation allone.
It's getting more complicated.

Time to set up a mathematical model and let the machine
do it's job.
But the creation of saws via discrete *integration* 
will create some alias as well....

I wonder if oversampling will help a lot...
