thanks Ken. Always handy to know.
Would it be true to say that any input wave with a "steep" onset
like a ramp wave could be used , but the outputs , while retaining
the same fundamentaly related ouputs as if a square wave were used ,
but with a differant overtone modulation ?
I guess the other boolean functions can similarly used to generate
similar square wave based output modulations ?
the comparator certainly makes a great sorta fuzz box . especially
when processing 2 variations of the same sound
