Subjectre: pitch error with oscili etc
I take back what I said about the plain oscil not exhibiting the pitch error.
Due to the way oscil works, there is no way the pitch error would have
been obvious to me, like it was for oscili. The reason is that the interpolated
points of oscili fell on successively different points in the sine wave, and
because the sample rate was so low with respect to the frequency of the
sine wave, this effect shows up on the screen as a gradual change of
amplitude. (it is, of course, not a real change of amplitude).
Since oscil "interpolates" by choosing the nearest neighbour,
this anomaly would not occur in a way that would show up
as obviously as this.
