Tyler,

Before responding to your post, I have one simple question for you.

If the file only contains 256 levels of gray, and IF (BIG IF) what you claim
is true, that standard Piezo is capable of 1000 tones, where do the extra
744 levels of gray come from?  How, exactly, are they derived?

Regards,

Austin
