Re: [motm] Off-Topic: Unusual MiniMoog Waveform

2004-01-21 by Scott Juskiw

I still have my mini. Oscillators 1 and 2 have a 
waveform that is a combination of a triangle wave 
and a sawtooth wave (situated between the 
triangle and ramp waves). It starts with the 
first half of a triangle wave (linear ramp from 
-5V to +5V in modular-speak), then ends with the 
last half of a downward sawtooth wave (linear 
ramp from 0V to -5V). Sounds just like you'd 
think it would.
