[sdiy] Bass generator synth DIY

[harrybissell]

Really... I don't have a triangle wave. I have a 6dB RC filtered
square wave (50% duty for sure).  Within milliseconds after attack...
a second 12dB LPF is closing on it... probably its a sine wave very
quickly.

The 'triangle' has a LOT more fundamental energy than the 'sawtooth'...
for equal amplitude. Makes sense.  Bass guitar really has a lot of even
harmonic content. In fact its NOT harmonic content... the harmonics are
substantially sharp because of string stiffness... MORE so on a bass
than other string instruments imho.
