Had a look at the excellent AVR-X project, seems like a great synthesizer (dual wave table with analog vcfs and vca). I put a wav header on the bin files to have a look at the waveforms and they sound very nice.
I think at least one was done on a Nord modular because I can recognize the distinctive spectral oscillator shape.

Anyway, wave15 looked and sounded interesting so I duplicated it in this patch, along with a S&H trick to ensure waves change only on zero crossings.

Just a basic patch with three variations.

(Take that, Clavia) Smile

I wish I could talk with the developers to find out just what made them decide to drop this module or that module in the G2.

Not having a DSP-related background I can only guess. But I would expect that the choice of DSP hardware wasn't the issue, but that more of a manpower/time issue.
I could be way wrong though.

Dr. Justice is one major DSP monster! Very Happy

Embarassed What I meant to say was it looks like the spectral oscillator, or sine3 on the G2 shape oscillators.
The sample does sound different to the G2 though. The data is 8 bit with only 256 samples per cycle, but it sounds very 'good'.

What did you use to make the image of the signal?

I renamed the .bin files from the source distribution to .raw then added a 44100 8bit wav header using sox.

I could then load them into audacity to see and listen. The screen shot is just an audacity window.

I am thinking now it might be generated by an algorithm because the zero crossings line up on each cycle, which is not the case with the G2 shape sine3.
Alternatively, they might have doctored each of the 16 cycles to shift the zero crossing, which would add a little phase modulation.

Nice patch! Also very nice to feed some oscillator signal into the s/h input Smile

Because the S/H is done at control signal time resolution you can still get small pops when the SeqCtr changes. Below are two ways to fix that. Both uses slightly more CPU though.

1'st version uses 5 S/H to make sure that the amplitude is changed only at the start of a waveform cycle.

2nd version uses glide modules to to change the amplitude gradually enough that no pops occur. By using different glide times for each harmony you can get some additional variation in the sound.

Really nice patch.

Indeed, I like that !
