Title: dacs module

been screwing around with the dacs module. Maybe this should be renamed to mixer, as it's not really a simple DACs module anymore. Was able to get some pretty far-out chorus-type effects/guitar divebombs with a trivial lfo patch. The architecture is simple - familiar mixer controls with an 'effect send' which at the moment just feeds a single-sample accuracy delay line with feedback.

It's kinda like a horribly digital EHX polychorus or something. Not sure what's up with a strange subtle crackly sound - maybe it's the sound of a non-interpolated delay line being sped up and slowed? Is that called aliasing? I have no idea...

Might I need to dig in there and attempt a linear interpolated version as you suggested? Maybe even do my parameter slews properly.

Just wanted to let you guys know that hacking modules on the aleph is simply ecstatic - zero latency, quick to compile/deploy and nothing in the existing codebase gets in the way of trying out ideas very naively! There have been many outbursts of evil/mad-sounding l laughter during the day as I illicited all kinds of bizarre squawks and bleeps from 'the fuse box' as my wife calls it.
