That must be two adds per wave per sample. One add to increment the phase of the naive saw, one add to sum the waves together.Swiss Frank wrote:A question about the killer article at: http://www.ghostfact.com/jp-8000-supersaw/
"This makes sense when you think about it - efficiency was king, and it's hard to beat the efficiency of two extra adds per sample - things are a lot easier when you embrace aliasing rather than reject it, huh?"
I don't get it-two extra adds to do what? Or do you mean the 7 sawtooths really are just 7 naive, non-BWL sawtooths (which I guess may only take a few additions each)?! Thats the secret?! And if so why only for non-BWL sawtooths?
The spectra shown in that article strongly suggest naive aliased saws with a highpass, but I'd like to see the plots for higher pitched notes where the aliasing would be more dominant.
