[sdiy] PIC Quantizer project

[xamboldt]

What about a quarter-tone scale (24 notes/octave)? That way not only would
you have the aforementioned quarter-tone scale (perfect for synthesizing
some of the most challenging pieces of Western music, such as the bassline
hook in "These Boots Are Made For Walking"), but you could toss a precision
op-amp on the output at 2x gain and you'd have 10 octaves of half-tone (12
notes/octave). Or am I missing something obvious?
