It's going to be an excellent class, I'm sure. Naturally, we're all wishing
you success with it!

"The evils of aliasing " topic shows up in at least 2 places, and could
creep into more. How about an early lecture reviewing the physics of sound,
acoustics, analog electronics (tubes into SS into ICs, the brief reign of
dedicated synth chips, the introduction of digital controls, and finally
digital audio. You can cover the evils of aliasing with regard to both audio
(digital oscs / waveshaping / filters / etc.) as well as the use of
digitized control parameters, which dates back to Obies, Prophets, etc.
Aliasing will also come into play if/when you cover digitally-generated CVs
(e.g., for envelopes). Will the Buchla 200e be discussed?
