You want band limited functions which Pd doesn't have by default.
Someone may have externals that do band limited saw and pulse waves

<br>to sound GOOD (like Reaktor, basically). I see how to do simple versions<br>from the example patches, but I don't know enough DSP to get rid of the<br>digital sound. For a great example of the kind of sound I want, check out:

<br>table to use for such synthesis? For example, if I synthesize a wave of<br>one period in another program, how long should it be? I know this should<br>be easy, but my brain is broken on this question. My gut instinct is that
<br>a wavetable would only sound good near original frequency or you just get<br>the typical digital artifacts from pitch-shifting a sample... is that<br>correct? I'm guessing what I'm really talking about is ROMpler style
<br>multi-sampling, and selecting the wave closest to input frequency. Don't<br>know if anyone built this already.<br><br>Btw, I can solve the problem for myself by loading in the VST~ external,<br>but I want what I build to be cross-platform so that it is most useful to
