I am all for the digital oscillator if itwill enable 1V/oct control.  Thatfeature is very useful for controlled harmonic, as opposed to inharmonic,generation. 

 

I liked Jurgen’ssuggestion about the multiplying DACs.  After all, a DAC is just an R-2R ladderor binary weighted current sources, which is still analog in my book.

I would think this would be a very important part of a FS (if there is not anexternal input which would defeat the internal oscillator). I know that Mr. T.and I (as well as many others) on this list have had several discussions aboutthe need for modules to generate complex non harmonic overtones for this verypurpose.
