Cool.  And you wouldn't need to just use a saw.  You could do this with a
triangle or a sine to access the wavetable in different ways.  You could
even use one wavetable to generate the addresses for another (or for itself?
whoa, I think I just blew my own mind!), thus creating a virtually infinite
number of possible waves.
