I second that. As others have said, you'd easily manage to do this
with a modern uP. Storing a selection of points (octaves are an
obvious choice, but you could go to half or quarter-octaves) and
doing linear interpolation between them isn't too demanding. To make
life easier, you could make sure the chip you use has a hardware
multiply, since you'll need to multiply for the interpolation.
