Hi Ian,
Your wave shapers sound interesting.
What is the URL for your site?

Well, I've been arguing this and working on VC waveforms for years.  Have 
you built the shapers on my web site?  I've become very discouraged that 
there is so little interest in these circuits.

The double-pulse generator really gives a range of timbres not available 
with the usual saw-tri-pulse combo.  New timbral features include buzzy, 
odd-harmonic-only sounds, and waveforms with high harmonics stronger than 
the fundamental (as many acoustic instruments have).  The circuit is really 
quite simple.

I also recently put up mp3 clips, scope photos and spectra for the more 
recent Wavolver shaper.  Again, these have received very little attention.
