[sdiy] Best ringmod waves, was: simple saw or sine osc?

[cheater cheater]

I find that the best thing is to have a parabola wave (which is just
two, offset, triangle waves multiplied by eachother) routed into a
simple soft clipper and a 6db LPF. This gives you amazing flexibility
with great simplicity. You can get some really great sounds by
sweeping the distortion input level and filter at the same time.
