MOTM

This reminds me--I've been tinkering around with NCO programs for a fast
microcontroller.  Input a 24-bit binary digit representing the setpoint
rate/frequency, and output a digital sine waveform (or just about any
waveform you like).  Some neat stuff can be done with these.

  Someone mentioned algorithmic composer programs/hardware.  I did this
using John (Simonton's) notes on programming the Paia P4700j's little
microcomputer to generate "filtered random" CVs and gates.  It was kind of
neat, but I didn't have enough voices at the time to make it really
interesting.

  Well, the code that drives an algorithmic "CV Keyer" will these days
easily fit into a single-chip microcontroller.  Perhaps I can propose a
future module along these lines.  The only trick is in figuring out how to
let the operator program the sucker without the dreaded "one data slider
for 275 parameters" syndrome.
