[sdiy] [AH] What would the ultimate LFO do?

[Tom Wiltshire]

It's an alternative firmware that I did after working on the Modcan AHDBDSR 64B envelope generator.

http://www.modcan.com/bseries/ahdbdsr.html

I have the prototype on my desk with a programming socket and various wires hanging off it. Since working on that project, I've used the hardware several times for 'proof-of-concept' work on other things, including the AMG ideas. Some months ago I was asking here about granular synthesis, and for a while I had some basic granular noises coming out of it.
The great thing about digital hardware is the ability to reprogram it into something completely different.
