W
-oscillator wave type collectionHere's a list of wave types with rendered audio for the W
oscillator. Apart from the built-in types, there's also recipes for making various wave types using modulation techniques.
Each instance of W
can use any one wave type in the built-in set – available to listen to below, these waveforms are also described in the wave type table on the language page. This built-in set is meant to make the most useful static waveforms easy to reach for. Of course, further types of waves can be made by combining several W
instances, adding waves of different type, frequency, phase, polarity, etc. – or modulating them.
The WAV files for the types have been produced with an extra-high sample rate and downsampled; this makes particularly the saw
wave cleaner, but the difference with simpler rendering is otherwise difficult to hear.
