With a trembling finger, he hit 'Build.' The compiler whirred. Build Successful.
"If the signal goes above 0.8, force it to stay at 0.8," he decided. He was essentially "squaring" the wave, adding harmonic distortion. Then, he added a Resonant Low-Pass Filter—a complex piece of trigonometry that would let him sweep through frequencies like a 1970s sci-fi soundtrack. Code Your Own Synth Plug-Ins With C and JUCE
Hours bled into each other. He spent three hours debugging a "memory leak" that turned out to be a misplaced semicolon, and another two hours perfecting the "Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release" (ADSR) envelope so the notes wouldn't just pop in and out of existence.
