So what would happen if cut out the middle part of a sound wave similar to pic related. What sound would it make and could it be produced through a guitar pedal?
In the last thread I was asked to clarify what I meant. I'd say what I'm looking for is closest to this post Where I am trying to clip everything inside the red line and have it go to the edges. What I visualize is where once it is mid way between two caps of the wave, it will jump down to the below the red line or vice versa. I've also edited the image a bit to try to demonstrate this although it is crudely drawn.
I mean you'd basically get a bunch of clipping, since you're going directly from xdB to 0. The only way I know to do this without getting clipping galore is to use a gate
Noah King
it would sound more like a square wave dunno what the harmonics look like off the top of my head
Jace Jackson
I did the closest thing to that that I could in audacity. It sounds like a regular sine wave with a slight buzz to it.
These are close but, and I'm not sure if I illustrated this well, it should be discontinuous somewhere between the caps.
Benjamin Price
(Not in a mean way) I dont think you understand waves :(
Michael Wilson
I'm not too knowledgable on it, the though behind this was a mixture of late night epiphany and knowledge from Calculus about discontinuities in functions. So I guess if a jump discontinuity doesn't work on a wave I guess the ones that have been shown work as an alternative
Levi Martin
thats not how it works
Jason Wilson
*quick 5 minute read up* so a wave can't have nodes with 2 different values then?
Nathan Collins
Signals always have a value because they're represented in time, the value can be zero but they can't just be undefined in some regions like a discontinuous function. Even square wave transitions have a finite ramp time IRL because discontinuity violates causality
Juan Gonzalez
Well I know they can't not exist at certain points, which is why I said jump discontinuity (pic related)
Joseph Torres
You can approximate jump discontinuities but they're not real. There's always risetime/falltime and overshoot, etc

I'm fairly certain you can get what you're after with crossover distortion mixed with a positive/negative pulse in the nonzero regions
Joshua Scott
A wave can't have a straight line up like that. that would mean it's got multiple values at the same position on the x axis

OP here, this isn't mine, I know you can't have 2 y values equal an x
Hunter Sullivan
I understand the first part but can you explain a bit more on what's going on in the second?
