My understanding was then a misunderstanding. Thanks for sorting this
out for me.

hello,
Sounds like a very interesting project.
It is my understanding that analog synthesizers generate the basic
waveforms with additive synthesis.Analog synths do subtractive synthesis: they start with square and
triangle waves and pass them through filters to remove harmonics.
The square and triangle waves are derived from the voltage on a
capacitor that's charged and discharged at a constant rate. A fourier synthesizer does additive synthesis by adding harmonics
together at various levels. Analog synths have trouble with this
because analog oscillators generally don't stay synchronized.Martin
