Hey, thanks! I dropped back by and had a listen. Nice!

I enjoyed those my first time by. "Don't touch, kids." :-)

I agree. I learned this back when I had a Korg DSS-1. I would use
the waveform drawing function and wonder why I wasn't noticing that
much difference in the patch between each waveform. Well, it's
because the filter was the main, as you say, contributor.

I've heard this with some of the Waldorf synths. Pretty cool.

Hey, if you ever need bandlimited versions of your waveforms, let me
know. I've written software for doing that type of thing. My
approach is to analyze the waveforms to get their harmonic spectrum.
Then create bandlimited versions, one per octave.
At any rate, thanks for a very cool site and demonstration!
