[sdiy] Better waveforms of our nature

[Pete Hartman]

Very interesting, thanks.

I'm struck by how familiar the even harmonics wave shapes are -- they look
like uncalibrated versions of the Buchla 258 waveforms. The eventooth, with
some shifting up or down of each half of the cycle, is used for the square
wave, and evenangle is used for the triangle.  The parabola even looks like
one of the extremes of the sine output.

Thanks

Pete
