32-stage partial square/staircase variable wave generator
Effectively a 32-stage step-sequencer running at audio rates, used to generate complex, repetitive waveforms. The desired waveform is approximated by setting the instantaneous amplitude of each of 32 increments. Aural feedback, random knob-twiddling, and (desirably) an accessory oscilloscope contribute to achieving the desired sound
Frequency is continuously variable from 1 cps to 2 kc, and may be controlled internally or with an externally applied voltage; however, the actual output frequency will vary depending on the individual stage settings. The instrument may be frequency modulated and a synchronizing trigger is provided to facilitate oscilloscope monitoring.
