Subject: Re: [yamahacs80] Square wave
It was interesting making these samples... as while I was setting up the synth for doing it, I realized I must have not really listened that hard to the pure sound before. I mean, I know what a square wave "ought to" sound like from my work with various Arp and Moog modules... so when it came time to get a clean square wave from the CS, I had to keep checking my patch layout because I felt I could really hear another audio component in there as well. This corresponds to your previous comment about the "Hidden" sine wave component contributing to the rich sound. The pictures of the wave shape produced seems to confirm this already. My ARPs never sounded so rich on just a raw, unfiltered square wave.
I've already uploaded these sample files to my company's FTP site. (I tried going to my own personal FTP space but these files put me over my allocation limit so I can't use that). Let me see what I can do about getting you some sort of access password you can use to grab these.
And apologies too to Stephen for the previous jpg attachment. I'm VERY sensitive to unsolicited attachments in e-mail and try never to use them. This one was only 28k in size so I hope it didn't cause too many problems for you.

Tim !You did a great job by making these samples!
I achieved similar results with a sample I grabbed from
(44.1KHz, 16bit)
Look at the wave. Never seen such a strange square ( but is THIS a square ????). See below; anyway I would be extremely glad to work on your samples but my mailbox can't bear such attachments so I think it could be better if you can actually manage an FTP folder;-)
Thx again!!!
