[sdiy] Vibrato range

[Tim Ressel]

Good point, Roman. I'm planning to use a PLL to drive a pair of clock 
generator chips to create top octave frequencies. The PLL is so that I 
can do vibrato. There is a PLL trick where you sneak in a signal to vary 
the VCO without the PLL losing lock, thus FM-ing the VCO.

Static pitch bend is another issue. The trick of FM-ing a PLL does not 
work for DC. Writing values to the clock chips directly uses I2C and a 
cumbersome calculation and there is 13 outputs to update. I doubt that 
will be fast enough for pitch bend. I am not sure how to implement a 
clock that is both accurate and bendable. Guess I'll have to play.
