cool... is #3 officially on the wish list?
perhaps another way to address #1,2 would be to use different lookup
tables (you are using lookup tables?) for different speeds. as an LFO
speed increases, the human ear just has a harder time making out what
waveform it is... so beyond a certain range, maybe there can be an
"ohmygod" range where the waveforms aren't really distinguishable as
"saw", "sine", etc and you can maybe use a distorted waveform that's
optmized for high speed. the only exception would be random.
might that be a way to get crazy-fast LFOs out of the old CPU?
also, what is the maximum safe frequency to run the CPU (without adding
coolers)? is that what it's running at?
thanks...

"You ask me why the IWW is not patriotic to the United States.
If you were a bum without a blanket; if you had left your
wife and kids when you went west for a job, and had never
located them since; if your job had never kept you long
enough in a place to qualify to vote; if you slept in a
lousy, sour bunkhouse, and ate food just as rotten as they
could give you and get by with it; if deputy sheriffs shot
your cooking cans full of holes and spilled your grub on the
ground; if your wages were lowered on you when the bosses
thought they had you down...if every person who represented
law and order and the nation beat you up, railroaded you to
jail, and the good Christian people cheered and told them to
go to it, how in hell do you expect a man to be patriotic?
This war is a businessman's war and we don't see why we
should go out and get shot in order to save the lovely state
of affairs that we now enjoy."
