Thanks Cyrille!

It was my stupid soundcard.

My Asus/AMD motherboard uses an integrated VIA VT2020 audio chip.
Utter crap.

I switched to my iMic USB interface, which has a Phillips UDA1325H/104 or /106 chip.
Clean as a whistle!!

I can't believe I've been dealing with that for 4khz whine (under certain circumstances) for the last 5 years!

Thanks again,
BH

This is not a good way to generate an aliased free waveform since all foldover frequency under 8KHz will not be removed.
you should try using a real band limited square oscilator.




Set the Q to about 3.
Now keep the frequency of the oscillator and the filter cutoff freq
below 100 hz.

Try [bp~] then try [vcf~].

No matter what the setting of either (as long as they are both below 100 hz),
I get I get a strong artifact at 4k, another at 12k, another at 17k.

i can see lot's of crap using your patch, but very few when using a good band limited oscilator.


This has been bugging me for months.
I can't figure it out.

I thought it was super-Nyquist foldover,
but the [lop~] didn't eliminate it,
and it does not seem dependent on the frequency of the oscillator.

Any ideas?

what did you use to record the sound?

cheers
