No, it's not in the csound manual, but there *is* such a description
in csound/anal/adsyn/adsyn.man.

I have, and it seems to work, though I've only played with it a little.
My NeXT-CSound application (recently released and announced) interfaces
with another application (Hetro) which produces adsyn files that csound
can and does use to interesting effect. The only catch with Hetro is that
you need to supply it with an estimate of the fundamental frequency.
