square, this waveform stinks aliasing - but for notes below C2 it is not a real problem: it becomes much
more aggressive and "in your face" than square.
The parameter controls the frequency of a simple 1-pole low-pass/high-pass filter in which is sent white
noise. From 0 to 63, high-frequency content is progressively added. From 63 to 127, low-frequency
content is progressively removed. Perfect as a raw material for percussions or sound effects.
Changing the parameter will sweep between different vocal-like sounds (14 vowels and 2 consonants).
The remaining waveform families are wavetables – collection of single cycle waveforms, synthetic or
sampled from real instruments. The parameter is used to smoothly "scan" the wavetable. For example, if a
wavetable has 2 waveforms, parameter = 0 plays the first waveform ; parameter = 127 plays the second ;
and parameter = 64 plays a mix of both. Wavetables can contain up to 16 waves.
