that went faster than I expected. this is sort of a complicated design. it took me a couple of hours to get it working properly, but it's worth it. I've disconnected the Pulse out, but the PWM works great, on the SAW out. it modulates the 2 halves of the SAW wave separately. A pulse driving this instead of a SQUARE wave produces an asymmetric SAW, the join point is somewhere other than at 0v. And anything other than a perfectly symmetrical TRIANGLE causes a convex or concave ramp. A SINE really messes things up and for maximum chaos use waves from different, non sync'ed VCOs to drive it. When the TRI and SQR are out of phase + PWM all sorts of cool stuff starts happening. good luck. feel free to PM me if you run into problems

if you don't mind me asking, what FET did you use?

no problem. this is a really cool waveshaper. I've been having a lot of fun with it today.

I'll have to try fiddling with this a little more. A very similar waveshaper is used on the Thomas Henry LM VCO, and on the Magic Smoke 566 VCO (also a TH design). Messing with the pulse width or driving it with different waves is something I've wondered about but never tried. Thanks for the inspiration!
