MOTM

I think 1000 is a good number.  I have messed with microtunings a fair
amount and actually 1000 points maybe inadequate at times.  I can actually
think of much wilder things for the translation tables to do though and the
more points the better here.  Things like non-linear humps and valleys in
the table--with an LFO driving it, it could get wild--especially when the
LFO is going fast!

Thinking more about it, why note make the traslation table variable as per
each EPROM?  This would allow lots of little tables or a few gigantic
tables....
