[sdiy] circle waveforms?

[Theo]

Just a guess, it might be a cycloid waveform.
Take a wheel, mark a spot on it and roll the wheel over a surface.
The line described by the marked spot on the wheel is the cycloid waveform.
It kind of looks like a rectified sine wave, but just isn't.

Its a Kurzweil K1000)

with it as a modulator, but cant put my finger on what it is exactly. Can
anyone help me out? BTW the waveforms for the LFO's on this are amazing!
stairs, cosines, falling saw, rising saw, pink noise, white noise, blue
noise, many more. Very fun!
