  Thanks for your friendly comments, Robert! First of all, I probably need to clarify that I'm not trying to make a traditional synth application out of these wavetables, but I will use some of them in my own compositions in one way or another. > > 1. "The wavetables are written to an array

Yes, there are lots of interesting things that can be done with frequency shifting. Feedback suppression in a PA system by frequency shifting was suggested by Manfred Schroeder a long time ago. I have occasionally found it to be useful to broaden a mono signal by feeding it through a hilbert

I haven't worked much on this, so just some speculations. i'd sorta like to keep this in the time-domain if possible so that it might be able to operate real-time, even with a small delay. but the delay in doing an STFT seems too long. A delay the size of a few periods of the signal seems
