+# Byte
+
+Byte is a bytebeat synthesizer similar to ALGODRONE or ByteBeat-Xfade. You can provide 
+up to 16 bytebeat expressions (defined as BYTEBEAT\_1 through BYTEBEAT\_16 in the code), and 
+then select and play them.  Feel free to change them!  But they must be valid C/C++ 
+expressions or they won't compile. You can change the pitch and tuning, as well as the 
+volume.  Additionally you can reset the bytebeat algorithm at any time by sending a
+trigger or gate to DIGITAL OUT.  
+
+## Building ByteBeats
+
+A bytebeat is any C expression using the 32-bit variable 't'.  It's called 16384 times a second
+and the result, mod 255, is output as an audio sample.
+
+Byte has a special feature: a special variable called x which ranges from 0 to 255.  It's
+set by CV coming in to IN 3, and is by default 0.  You could stick x in your expressions
+to control them in real-time via CV.
+
+Byte is fragile: if in your expression you modify Byte's internal variables (like triggered or pitchCV
+or even t!) you can seriously break Byte.  So don't do that.
+
+There are many bytebeat expressions available online.  For a small collection, see
+[Viznut's archive](http://viznut.fi/demos/unix/bytebeat_formulas.txt).  Note that some of these
+are designed for JavaScript or have Sine or Pow in them: they are unlikely to work.
+
+You can test bytebeats [on the following webpage](https://greggman.com/downloads/examples/html5bytebeat/html5bytebeat.html)
+before adding them to GRAINS.  You can change the Hz values on that page as well.  GRAINS's
+default HZ is 16384, though you can turn it down to half of that or less.
+
+## Tuning
+
+You can't really tune BYTE: to do so would require changing the sampling rate, and Mozzi doesn't
+make it easy to do that without modifying Mozzi's config in its library.  Maybe later.
+
+On Pot 1 I have set things up so you can change the pitch to some degree.  There are 16
+settings.  Setting 8 (typically a bit to the left of due center) is the default setting.  
+Since Mozzi's sampling rate is 16384 Hz, this is about one octave above and twice as fast
+as the traditional pitch, which normally corresponds to 8000 Hz.  If you turn the knob 
+to the LEFT of this, Byte will get slower and lower in pitch. It does this by just playing 
+fewer times when Mozzi asks it to. It's pretty crude but it works.  If you turn the knob to 
+the RIGHT, Byte will get higher in pitch but also change how it plays.  This is because it 
+is incrementing the "t" variable by more and more (by default it's incremented by 1).
