[Fpga-synth] Small Demo Posted

[Eric Brombaugh]

Scott,

That's wonderful! The instrument sounds very nice and the music is also 
quite pretty. In some pitch ranges it sounds almost like a handbell 
choir, while at lower ranges it has a more harpsichord character. Very 
unique.

The differences between the right and left channels were quite subtle - 
perhaps it was only a matter of phasing. I think I heard some motion 
when listening in stereo, but no real differences in timber when I 
tweaked the balance hard left/right. That could just be my ears though - 
I'd need to send it through a mixer and feed one channel to both sides 
to be sure.

You're still just using the 12-bit on-board DAC, right? It would be nice 
to see what this sounds like through a decent audio-quality DAC (16-bit, 
decent anti-aliasing filters, etc).

Kudos!

Eric
