MOTM

Perhaps this is slightly off on a tangent, but I picked up a book on CSound
last night.  Included was a 2CD set, which includes some Karplus-Strong
instruments, if I understood it correctly.  And apparently you can port
CSound to many different processors and DSP chips.  I don't know if that
includes PICs.
