These ramp functions are actual quite powerful and beautiful sounding when implemented in analog electronic synthesizers - by controlling the ratio of the quiescent and moving phase, and by controlling the ratio of the rise and fall times in the moving phase, you can achieve all sorts of very beautiful, rich timbral modulations with interesting harmonic behavior - particularly if your pulse generator and the envelope duration are decoupled in terms of durations. Wind, brass, reedy sounds are all possible, some cool undertones can be created, etc etc.

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing! Would you mind pointing me to where I could listen to some of the sounds produced by analog electronic synthesizers running ramp functions? I'd love to hear it. I looked through the repo and didn't find an easy way to listen.
