notes

This is working code for synthesizing a bandlimited sawtooth waveform. The algorithm is
DSF BLIT + leaky integrator. Includes driver code.

There are two parameters you may tweak:

1) Desired attenuation at nyquist. A low value yields a duller sawtooth but gets rid of
those annoying CLICKS when sweeping the frequency up real high. Must be strictly less than
1.0!

2) Integrator leakiness/cut off. Affects the shape of the waveform to some extent, esp. at
the low end. Ideally you would want to set this low, but too low a setting will give you
problems with DC.

Have fun!

there is no need to use a butterworth design for a simple leaky integrator, in this case actually the
variable curcps can be used directly in a simple: leak += curcps * (blit - leak);

this produces a nearly perfect saw shape in almost all cases

The square wave type will be able to be generated from this source.
Please teach if it is possible.
