  46  *  \section Sec_Description Project Description:
  47  *
  48  *  MIDI note synthesiser project. This project implements a basic DDS frequency synthesiser, capable of producing 8-bit PWM sine
  49  *  waves of variable frequency. When attached to a USB host, this project will allow for multiple MIDI notes to be synthesised into
  50  *  audiable sound via PWM, using the notes sent to MIDI channel 1.
  51  *
  52  *  Outgoing audio will output in 8-bit PWM onto the timer 3 output compare channel A. Decouple the audio output with a capacitor
  53  *  and attach to a speaker to hear the audio.
  54  *
  55  *  \section Sec_Options Project Options

  65  *   <tr>
  66  *    <td>MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_NOTES</td>
  67  *    <td>AppConfig.h</td>
  68  *    <td>Sets the maximum number of MIDI notes that can be generated simultaneously. More notes require more processing time,
  69  *        and thus a value that is too high will cause audiable sound distortion due to insufficient CPU time.</td>
