[sdiy] Stretched harmonic synthesis

[cheater cheater]

Nice essay. Now that everyone's caught themselves up to the difference
between ODEs (you differentiate only over time) vs PDEs (you
differentiate over time and x/y/z and you store the state of the
system at those points in a delay line), let me ask my original
question again.

I was wondering if anyone knows any ODEs which generate a signal with
harmonics which are progressively stretched? Meaning higher partials
are further apart.

Or alternatively progressively contracted - higher partials are closer together.

Are ODEs the only kind of differential equation that can be solved
without a delay line?
