BlitB3Saw BLIT derived sawtooth


BlitB3Saw.ar(freq, leak, mul, add )


Band limited impulse generator based on B-Spline interpolation of order 3, integrated to create a sawtooth waveform. 


freq Maximum frequency is a period of 4 samples, so a quarter of the sampling rate. You may start to hear aliasing over 5000 Hz or so, otherwise perceptually indistinguishable from an analog waveform.  


leak leaky coefficient. 0 would give back the impulses, higher numbers (up to near 1.0) fill out the inter-impulse space, integrating the waveform.

//aliasing suddenly appears for very high frequencies
