Wow! Looping a set of S&H results..
That's another really great idea!!! I'd love to hear that!!
I'm on Yahoo groups for every vintage/classic synth I own and this one is by far the best. 
I learn more here in one day than in a year on most of the other groups. 
Bravo to all of you who put in the time and effort to make this such a success!

It also leads to the possibility that you could have a start and a loop parameter to restrict the range within the lookup table that the "random" S&H uses. Couple that with MIDI-synced LFOs and you've got the basis of an interesting little rhythmic pattern generator.
