Modulated waveform idea

Asuming I understand what you are saying correctly...
The problem with this idea is as frequency increases, signal level 
decreases if you are using fixed charge/discharge for generating your 
waveshapes (timed for the lowest frequency). An AGC then needs to be 
used to compensate.
