[sdiy] analog oscillators with non-standard waveforms

[Milo Barrowclough]

hi all
 
i've been wondering, is it possible to build an analog oscillator that produces waveforms that are different from the standard waveforms i.e. square, triangle, sawtooth ?
 
     it would be interesting to have the variety of waveshape of a digital oscillator combined with the tonal characteristics distinct to analog oscillators i.e. warmth, fullness.
       i guess you can do FM sounds with analog oscillators, but that uses sine waves anyway.
or maybe analog oscillators are limited to primitive (but good none the less) waveforms because of the components used i.e. a capactor charging up and down produces a traingle wave.
