As an aid to sound design, an oscilloscope acts as a sonic microscope, capable of observing single cycles of a waveform. It's possible to directly observe how slowly low-pass filtering a harmonic-rich ...

Step 2: We import our software-generated sawtooth wave into our DAW, where we’ve recorded a sawtooth from an old ARP 2600. If we take a look at both waveforms by zooming in or using an oscilloscope ...

With the sawtooth wave, the fuzz ends up converting the sawtooth into a kind of pulse wave.

This particular video uses the Z-axis input on an analog oscilloscope. The input is composite video that's used to create X and Y sawtooth ramp signals from the vertical and horizontal sync pulses.

When we are taught about oscillators as newbie engineers, we are shown a variety of waveforms on an oscilloscope or in a textbook. This is a sine wave, they say, this is a sawtooth, this is a squar… ...
