Hi all,

With recent discussions here about digital oscillators, aliasing, period 
jitter, etc,  I can wholeheartedly recommend taking the time to watch 
this short video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cIQ9IXSUzuM

It debunks a number of popular misconceptions about digital sampled 
signals and is presented in a very friendly and non-technical way.  It's 
an easy watch for anyone wanting a gentle introduction to digital audio 
with some practical and educational realtime demos.  It's also a good 
refresher for those already familiar with the concepts.  (Speaking as 
someone who teaches in DSP, I can also assure you that it remains 
factually accurate on a technical level too.)

The latter part discussing timing resolution of features in a sampled 
signal is of particular interest to those making digital oscillators for 
synths, etc.

-Richie,

PS. I have no connection with the producer of the video.  I just saw it 
linked on another forum I frequent and thought it was good.
