Waveforms
The waveforms produced by the oscillators in analog keyboards are affected by the
presence of capacitors in the circuits. The discharge of such capacitors results in a slight
'bend' in the original waveform (most notably for sawtooth, triangular and square
waveforms). TAE® reproduces the result of this capacitor discharge in software.
Directly below is a plot of a waveform from one of the hardware instruments that Arturia
has emulated, followed by one generated by Arturia's TAE®. As you can see, the waveforms
are quite similar and both are equally deformed by the low-pass and high-pass filtering.
