I became aware of harmonics and the sound of different shaped waveforms early in my electronics career (mid 1970’s) as I was an avid fan of [Emerson Lake and Palmer], [Pink Floyd], [Yes], and the list ...

Philosopher Mark de Silva's debut novel, Square Wave, shows what a novel can do when it goes off the beaten track. In it, de Silva attempts to structure chaos by following patterns that might emerge ...

An audio waveform theoretically comprised of an infinite set of odd harmonic sine waves. It is often used in sound synthesis. See also: Fourier Theorem, Law of Superposition, Oscillator, Switch.

Today we’ll take a journey into less noisy noise, and leave behind the comfortable digital world that we’ve been living in. The payoff? Smoother sounds, because today we start our trip into analog. If ...

This article describes how to design and build an adjustable, encoder-controlled, two-range sine / square wave oscillator using the SLG47004 IC. To design a simple analog sine wave oscillator (using ...

This is a very simple square wave generator circuit built with IC 74LS00 that can generate square signals with frequencies between 20 Hz and 1 MHz. Its stability is good enough for most applications.

A waveform that rises quickly to a particular amplitude, remains constant for a time period and drops fast at the end. In digital systems, square waves are the norm, because they represent a binary ...
