Hi list, If I take a circle, cut it in half horizontally, then move the bottom half r*2 units to the right, what is the waveform that results?

Hi Jonathan,
The half cycle would be written: sqrt(1-x^2) since in a circle x²+y²=1
Then depending on how you want to use it, you'd have to figure out a way to have the lower portion. See attached patch with a [phasor~]
Hope this helps.
Cheers Pierre-Olivier

A phase corrected triangle wave at least looks like half a circle (the green wave: http://funsseelen.eu/images/gnuplot_100_1024.png).
Partials for a normal triangle wave: 1/(1^2) * sin(x) + 0 + -1/(3^2) * sin(3x) + 0 + 1/(5^2) * sin(5x) + 0 + -1/(7^2) * sin(7x) et cetera.. --> infinity
