A Better Reproduction Of Analog Waveforms - Arturia Minimoog V User Manual

8.2.2 Better reproduction of analog waveforms:
Original analog oscillators used condensers' unloading to produce common wave shapes
®
(saw tooth, triangle, square). This means that waveforms were slightly curved. TAE
allows the reproduction of Condenser's Unload.

In addition, original analog oscillators were unstable. Actually, their wave shape was
always slightly different from one period to another. In addition, due to analog hardware
sensitivities, new period trigger times varied with the temperature and other
environmental conditions.
TAE simulates the instability of oscillators, helping to create warmer sounds, often given
the affectionate term of "fat".
