From the early days of analog synthesis up through today, there are four basic wave shapes that can be used as the source for a complex world of creation. The wave shapes are sine, triangle, saw, and square. In this episode, you will learn about these wave shapes, their harmonic content, their sound, and how they can be used in basic application for making sounds. We also take a look at the Wavetable VCO and compare it to the regular VCO in VCV Rack. Since we are working with Eurorack modeling software, The wavetable VCO models a physical digital synthesis module and the basic VCO models an analog synthesis module. They do have subtle differences in their sound. Additionally, we also see how to smooth out monophonic playing using the process module to eliminate artifacts.
