[sdiy] Uniformly distributed noise generator?

[Michael Bachman]

If you are already creating the noise digitally, then why not also
perform the S/H digitally for the random voltage?
I used a 32 bit LFSR to generate the noise and cyclically (based off
an LFO) sampled the lower 10 bits for the random voltage generaton.
Here is a screen shot ot the results.
