@Felthry @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online Yup. in practice, this typically means one to three oscillators with various choices of waveforms (usually at the very least saw, pulse and sine or triangle) and then a filter (at the very least low pass, can often be switched to high pass and/or band pass too).
@Thaminga @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online Sounds kind of like what the commodore SID chip did?
@Felthry @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online That but analog, really.
@Thaminga @kobi_lacroix@snouts.online wasn't the SID chip mixed-signal? I thought its filtering was analog.
@Felthry You may be thinking of the Roland Juno series of synthesizers, though; those -did- have digital oscillators with an analog filter - hugely popular for much of the '80s, as well as the early '90s if you include the Alpha Juno that had more options on the oscillator.
