A linear to exponential converter circuit would need only triangle wave data. The DAC need not be discrete, could be a basic binary-weighted one using eg 5 or 6 output pins and a few resistors I'd even have a go with a dsPIC33 that has an audio DAC. Capture the Audacity wave with the ADC and store the data Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
