others have mentioned), and a way to build waves by adding harmonics.<<
I was highly influenced by the Fairlight's ability to draw separate free from
envelopes for each harmonic. So about 15 years I wrote a program in
Applesoft Basic, that did the same thing (used trackball instead of
lightpen). It produced some really weird evolving sounds, including unwanted
high harmonic aliasing that worked it's way down into the audio realm to mess
things up. Couldn't get more than about 2 seconds of sound with that
whopping 48K of RAM. But now the Kawai K5000 can do the same thing if you
want to hear the effect.
