Thank you for your answer!

PWM is certainly really different from all the others :

  • AM uses the "modulator" waveform to act on the "carrier"'s (the voice waveform here) amplitude
  • FM does the same with frequency
  • PM does the same with the phase
  • RING (modulator) theoretically multiplies two waveforms together to produce a new signal, so I guess the two waveforms used here are the "modulator" and "carrier" (the voice waveform) of the AM, FM and PM above and it's functionally logical to choose a modulator waveform
  • MORPH is quite unique here for me but uses apparently the modulator and the carrier (the voice waveform), so it's still functionally logical to choose a modulator waveform.

Whereas PWM is supposed to change the duty cycle of a so called Pulse Wave. I don't really know how technically for sure but I guess it doesn't matter as you're interested in choosing a given duty cycle. I don't understand why a modulator waveform has to be chosen and it's implications. Neither how to reach a certain duty cycle.

Indeed its implementation in Yoshimi seems peculiar. I would be really curious to understand functionally how it works on duty cycles.

I sure can create sounds by trial and error (and using it in a song right now :mrgreen: ) but it's a bit frustrating.
