[Fpga-synth] Why Binary Powers

[Scott Gravenhorst]

that question bugged me of course, but one reason is tuning ROMs.  If I change a design by doubling it's sample rate, I can usually apply a right shift on the phase increment to compensate.  This way, I can use the same tuning ROMs and tuning remains accurate with the same range.
