[sdiy] Variable slope triangle oscillator questions

[HOSHUYAMA]

Hello Karl,

My schematics could help you.

Please check out VCO & Waveshaper section at:

  http://www5b.biglobe.ne.jp/~houshu/synth/index.html

The first schematic was tested on simulator.
Don't ask me to explain the details, please.

Best,

I guess i just don't understand how to calculate what kind of slope is necessary. Any help for the math-tarded?
