[sdiy] circle waveforms?

[Oren Leavitt]

I would agree with that too.
I think cycloid function would be rather easy to program into a DSP, and more of a challenge to create with analog techniques.
A 'cycloid wave' is an interesting idea...

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.

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!
