[sdiy] And yet another report on my FPGA synth project

[Jim Patchell]

Well, I got the note allocator running tonight, so I was actually able 
to play a little tune for the first time...

I wish it had the filter...but that will have to wait.

I can see some other features I am going to have to add to the hardware 
as well.  I need a means of setting the volume (fixed value) for each 
channel...sort of analogous to drawbars...

And like I already mentioned, a way of making sure the oscillators that 
make up a voice start out with a predetermined phase shift.

And I am going to need to modify the envelope generators somehow.  The 
slowest time constant is just not slow enough.  The rams can be 36 bits 
wide...I might have to see if it is possible to do all my DSP work in 
that word width.  That should make it possible to have a time constant 
16 times longer if I use a 16.20 representation....but all that will 
have to wait.
