Back into modular (again!) and fiddling with Disting's wavetable
algorithm. It loads user wavetables off an SD card, so of course I
immediately plugged in the PPG tables I did for the E352. Easy setup,
worked first time. Ahhh lovely evolving sounds. One nice feature is
that the second output can be configured to be a detuned version of
the first, and it's symmetric, so if you detune by 20 somethings, it
means output A is +20 and output B is -20. So you stay in tune.

Very nice for a 4hp $189 module. Oh and it does 60+ other things too...
