Thank you.pcx!

I think that was it!  fascinating how my web searches couldn't find it, 
but probably because of the classic practice of using gifs as headlines 
:)  ah the good old days... R at F's page even links to his old mp3.com 
page!  Man, I loved mp3.com back in the day...

Anyway, thanks everyone for your links to how the drum machines 
synthesize, I added them to

Confirming Excel for DSP/synthesis experiments.  Two more things people 
might like for realtime synthesis experiments are:
