a little syncphasor exercise

I wanted to go back and deal with something that was bugging me about the previous two pieces: instead of changing the length and speed of the phasor'd portion of the original waveform, what if I want to keep those the same but "stutter" the phasor; not always allowing it to finish a complete cycle, but instead interrupting it and sending it back to the beginning? I discovered the syncphasor opcode lets me do that.

Using mpulse and random to decide how long to go before "interrupting" the phasor gives a nice stuttery feeling. I can imagine using this technique to control all kinds of things for Tudor-esque effect.

Side note: I haven't generated an mp3 for this because I don't feel it's a finished "piece"; it's more of an exercise to hear if I've controlled something the way I want to.
