[sdiy] Approximating sine with plain integer math

[John Ames]

Hm. Yes, that is the goal. I'm just not sure I understand what "ugly"
is here - are we talking aliasing noise, or just an unpleasant amount
of high-frequency components? Either way, it's something I have to
think you'd address outside of the oscillator proper, with some kind
of filtering, which is also going to be involved in the softsynth
total...

Maybe this is just something I'm not understanding due to being a
programmer with an interest in synthesis rather than a signal analyst
with a knowledge of programming?
