Not really an issue, more of some guidance #4

Hello, I like to build polyphonic hybrid synths for my own use, nothing commercial. I'm interested in using one of your superb designs for a front end to a polysynth, basically I would use something like 8 RP2040 tiny boards and 8 DAC boards to create the voicing for each voice and feed these into 8 analogue filters/adsr's/VCA's and possibly an effects unit to create a poly module, I know it seems overkill, but a stable oscillator bank is the goal. I have already built 5 or 6 polysynths around this idea and yoru designs strucks me as perfect way to achieve the front end.

Which module would you recommend to create a a dual oscillator voice with the usual suspects, saw, square (preferably PWM), triangle and maybe a few other waves but not so important. I've looked at the synth_basic and the super_saw examples, but with the basic there is no PWM, bit I'm sure with only one voice PWM would be possible and the super_saw only does saw, or am I mistaken.

Maybe you can suggest another option to use.

Below is an 8 note polyphonic wavetable synth using the Hagiwo $9 VCO modded to respond over MIDI to octave, wave etc and fed into 8 filters all controlled by a Teensy 4.1
