Triangle Oscillators

A triangle oscillator is a repeating waveform that oscillates between -1 and 1 using straight line segments.

Property Parameters

vertex

Moves the peak amplitude between the phase of -1 and 1.

  • -1: downwards sloping sawtooth wave
  • 0: symmetrical triangle wave
  • 1: upwards sloping sawtooth wave

Sound Theory

A symmetrical triangle wave only contains odd harmonics and can be approximated with sine waves with additive synthesis using amplitude -1 / (n * n), where n is the odd harmonic number, inverting every other.
