Digital Mixed Signal

Digital Mixed Signal
Digital signal mix/cross? (unsure)?

The frequency of a note n steps from A at 440hz is 440 * 2^(n/12)

Creating the two seperate signals is the easy part, but mixing them together is the hard part. If I had two buffers of binary bits for two signals set on/of at the frequencies of f# (739.989hz) and g# (830.609hz) what methods are available either mathematically or functionally that would cross these two buffers together into a single binary buffer that would be the chord together?

To play a chord, you need to add the instantaneous values of the input signals (using an audio mixer) not multiply (radio frequency mixer) - multiplying will give you 4 sine waves out, at the following frequencies: f1+f2, f1, f2, f2-f1. A chord should only contain f1 and f2, not the sum and difference.

I'd suggest building a full adder, then using the carry bit as your output.
