Well, it's not that big a step from user-controlled constant phase shift 
to user-controlled variable phase shifts, in the DDS sheme it would 
break down to adding external data instead of internal (to the DDS 
module) data, so simply connecting some more wires to the outside 
instead of generating that data on-module from knob positions, CVs or 
whatever.

Will probably generate some graphics on the general idea as soon as my 
last exam is finished (thesis is due next monday)...
