[sdiy] multiplier questions/experiments AD633

[dan snazelle]

thanks Harry,  that was what i started with.
ring mod is so easy with the ad633!  i was just sort of hoping there would be other really weird sounding functions of multipliers...but i suppose if there were tons of really weird sounding functions
they would be more commonly mentioned!
