[sdiy] just quantization

[Harry Bissell Jr]

If anyone remembers Chris List's "Arp Style Quantizer"

it would be obvious that if you generated different
size steps (change the program current to a
multiplying DAC) you could get quantizing to different
scale steps.

All intervals would have to be equal, ie. one, two
three semitones.  You could start at 1/4 tone, or 1/8
tone if you liked.

If anyone decides to build this, I can offer some
improvements over the original design
