Re: [Audacity-nyquist] Batch and plunck

[David R. S. <dav...@sh...>]

Hi Paul,

I finally downloaded your file - nice sound! Based on what you wrote below 
and on your web page, did you add a sawtooth wave to a pluck sound as the 
8th harmonic of the pluck sound?

And did you use the sequencer, or something else to generate the notes?

Thanks

David
