[sdiy] Aztec Processor Samples

[Michael Ruberto]

yes more samples! These are interesting because the first ones i sent were 
actually from the LM3916. I forgot I had it in there. so I swapped it out 
for the 3914 and I thought maybe my allergies were clogging my ears earlier. 
it sounds very different! I can only imagine that because the step spacing 
is different I am getting a different harmonic series. listen for 
yourself...

if you compare the waveforms in an editor little difference can be seen. it 
would be cool if someone could give me an explanation on why there is such a 
difference in sound from one device to another.
