Another question: Michal, in your samples the triangle and square are
between
0 and 1. To use them as sound oscillators (like osc~), i think it would
be
better to get a signal between -1 and 1, ie for a triangle waveform,
something
like 0 1 0 -1 0 . Am i right ?
Hehe. You're right...
I've never even looked at the square (never used it) and the triangle is mainly useful for "windowing" stuff... This raises an interesting point, though... Can you actually hear the difference? Can anyone? I've never made such an experiment but it could be interesting to find out.
You could generate the tables programmatically, I guess... Anyone got something like that ready?
