A pure and chaste sine wave lost her virginity. At some point she started listening to Nine Inch Nails.
zsaw: phase-distortion sawtooth with filter sweep
This waveform uses phase distortion to recreate a low-pass filtered sawtooth by progressively
"pinching" the phase of a sine wave. The parameter controls the brightness of the sound: from a sine
wave to a sawtooth, then from a sawtooth to a sawtooth gone through an ugly transistor amp. Good
for dirty bass guitar sounds or clavinets.
lpzsaw, pkzsaw, bpzsaw, hpzsaw: resonant filter sweeps on a sawtooth wave.
This waveform family directly simulates the sound of a sawtooth wave processed by a low-pass,
peaking, band-pass, or high-pass resonant filter. The parameter controls the cutoff frequency of the
filter.
lpzpulse, pkzpulse, bpzpulse, hpzpulse: resonant filter sweeps on a trapezoidal wave.
