Hi Derek,
Thanks for the leads. I'm mostly using mac os x but have recently obtained a used dell laptop and am planning to put a linux distro on it so i'll keep in mind the LADSPA plugins as well.
Best, p

i see that PD has cosine and sawtooth objects. is there a square wave object? or do you use tables to create them?
If you search the archive, you'll find two very mathematical threads on this under the headers "square wave osc & pwm" and "band limited square wave". The trouble with many of the mathmatical methods of doing this in PD is that it is not anti-aliased, so you will get some aliased frequencies which would not be present in a true square wave.
If you are on Linux, I would recommend using the [plugin~] object with the BLOP LADSPA plugins. They have a beautiful "analog" sound, can be pulse-width-modulated, and best of all are bandwidth-limited to get rid of the nasty little "birdies".
good luck, d.
