fm:
minimal 2-operators FM
The parameter controls the modulation strength. This oscillator provides the base
material for metallic sounds, bells, metallophones, or the next 386 DX hit.
When the fm oscillator is selected, the range parameter plays a
slightly different role than usual: instead of controlling the main
pitch of the note, it controls the modulator frequency, and has a
drastic impact on the timbre.
8bits:
bitwise anarchy
A palette of 8-bits sounding waveforms obtained by applying bitwise operations to a basic
sawtooth wave (something now known as “biscuiting”).
pwm:
my first Arduino synth
This waveform is a shamelessly naive square wave. The parameter controls the pulse-
width. Contrary to 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.
