ARTURIA – ANALOG FACTORY S.E. - MANUAL

Linear frequency spectrum of the ANALOG FACTORY S.E. oscillator made with TAE

1.3.2 A better reproduction of analog oscillator waveforms

The waveforms produced by the oscillators in analog synthesizers are marked by the

presence of a capacitor in the circuits. The discharge of the capacitor results in a light

bend in the original waveform (notably for saw tooth, triangular and square

waveforms). TAE

allows the reproduction of this capacitor discharge. This is the

analysis of a waveform from one of the 5 original instruments that Arturia’s software

emulates, and that of the ANALOG FACTORY S.E.. They are both equally deformed by

the low-pass and high—pass filtering.
