i didn't mean to imply that. i'm not eager to cook anything in my old 
gear.

maximum clock rate is, too a point, a function of temperature. but no, i 
don't want to have a liquid nitrogen cooled EX800.

==================

i would still think that it would be feasible to use a distorted wave in a 
lookup table and get "ohmygod" fast LFOs, without burdening the CPU... but 
i'll take your word for it if that's not the case.

as a crypto geek, i'm still curious how you're calculating the random 
wave, and what the period is.
