Well, I guess if you entered a sine, and shifted it up an octave,
you'd have a second harmonic... You could make a third harmonic,
fourth, etc... Added together in appropriate amounts you could
re-create a sawtooth (32 or 64 harmonics needed really). The phase
behavior would probably be horrible, but in theory it could be done.
The number of pitch shifters would probably be mind boggling, and the
financial outlay would make a snake grow hair.
But in the final analysis: starting out with a guitar sound, you
already have a nice harmonic-laden source. Some judicious wave-shaping
will make this even better. So why the ^%$@$ would you use dynamic
filtering to whittle it down to a sine - only to then painstakingly
and at great cost fold it out into a sawtooth again? And then filter
that again with a multimode filter? Just use the multimode filter
directly...
Be good,
Paul
