[sdiy] LFO through PWM

[Tom Wiltshire]

Hi Mikhail,

I did a PIC-based LFO that used 8-bit resolution for most of the  
calculations and then used 10-bit PWM for the output. The quality is  
good enough at 10-bit that you can only hear digital steps in the  
most demanding situations (slow ramps to pitch or a high resonance  
filter).
8-bit will be worse, and I'd expect to hear more stepiness, but it'll  
be perfectly usable and will have some character of its own.
Try it and see!

Regards,
Tom
