A better reproduction of analog oscillator waveforms
The waveforms produced by the oscillators in analog synthesizers are affected by
the presence of a capacitor in the circuits. The discharge of a capacitor 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.
Below is the analysis of a waveform from one of the five original instruments Arturia’s
software emulates, followed by one made by TAE®. They are both equally
deformed by the low-pass and high-pass filtering.
