Me, too. And I should have used wrap~ indeed, that does the same [>~
1] and substracting 1 or 0, I just didn't think of it. All those objects...

The important idea behind Varga's algorithm is "Bandlimiting".  The
standard phasor has harmonics beyond the Nyquist frequency because of
the abrupt changes from 1->0 and unfortunatly now that I took a sheet
of paper, the way I realised trisaw has the same problem. Duh. I
looked closer at Varga's code and he uses a new Csound function table
generator, GEN30. This does the following:

"GEN30 extracts a range of harmonic partials from an existing
waveform"

The 4(x-x^2) expression is used in Varga's code to fill a table with
such a waveform, that GEN30 then reads while limiting the upper border
of the harmonics range. 

Because these gen30-generated table later is used in an oscili
(==tabosc~ in PD) with varying frequency, one cannot simply use one 
table for every trisaw~ frequency, because that would introduce
aliased frequencies again. Varga's solution is to fill 128 tables,
one for each midi note, with GEN30-functions from 4x(1-x) polynoms and 
limited upper harmonic borders of "nyquist_frequency/note_frequency"

All this I didn't do in my trisaw~ and so I alias the same amount as
you.

Life's a dog.
