Hallo, Alexandre Porres hat gesagt: // Alexandre Porres wrote:
you know, yeah, but the thing is that phasor is not actually an oscilator at all !!! the name actually refers to phase, and not sawtooth.
And a [triangle~] may be used as a ping-pong looping [phasor~].
The objects Pd provides are building blocks - they generally are designed on a level that allows and encourages multiple uses. A square wave going from 0 to 1 can be used as a logical signal that switches another signal on and off. In fact, a trivial square or saw without bandlimit should generally not be used as an "oscillator" in the analog synth sense - it should be bandlimited first, and while you do that you may as well make them have a DC of 0. (Bandlimiting triangle waves is not *that* urgent, as corners don't add so many alias components.)
