Oh, yeah, Don Lancaster has some REALLY interesting stuff he did a few
years ago. he called it "magic sine waves". It is mostly a scheme for
storing families of waves in EPROMS to synthesize sine waves with the
minimum number of transitions (less transitions = less energy loss in the
power transistors).
The scheme stores just a single-bit sequence in the EPROM for every
combination of frequency and voltage.

That sounds interesting, push pull power block driven with magic sine waves.
Gotta give it a try down the road.
