Npot sure I understand the qurstion.  The ame poscil comes from Precise 
OSCILator and giving a frequency inn Hz is very nirmal.  What is the 
problem?

the first poscil generates a stream of values between -10 and +10 
sinusoidal -- 10*sin(wt).  It is not an amplitude, just a function
When added to 440 it generates 440+10sin(wt) which is a slowly varying value 
from 430 to 440; tat is then used as a frequency.

Thew it interpolates between values not stored in the table.  poscil uses 
floating point index and oscil uses integer as I remember.  In time-critical 
performance oscil is aster and may not be sonnnically too bad..... Oscil3 
uses cubic interpolation rater than linear.

As any academic knows the only stupid question is the one you do not ask

Don't worry, they're still putting up with my stupid questions, and
I've been at it almost a year now

Of course -- my typo
