[music-dsp] DA converter from vintage samplers

[CK]

I read:
> When I load a sawtooth wave (with a perfectly steady slope) into some of the

> sawtooth. Can anyone explain to me, why that is,

I guess the filters in/after the dac stage of the equipment.

quantise the signal to 8 or 12 bits, experiment with high- and lowpassfilters
to get the desired effect.
