[sdiy] Digital accumulator VCO core?

[Roman Sowa]

That's what I did long time ago in my polysynth, but using 5 bits. They 
were actually hardwired to 5-bit R-2R DACs, but with accessible 
individual square wvaes too.
The sonic results were not impressive, so late I decided to add 
32-sample wavetables, and that was much better. It still sounds like 
"bzzzz" but many different types of bzzzz.
