Hey hey,
I've wondered how to create harmonically rich waveforms from a very basic one. 
I have general notions. So more precisely:
basis: sine or triangle
goal: a waveform with either odd, even or all harmonics

The inspiration for this thought is the Make Noise 0-Coast synth:
Intro by Make Noise:
youtu.be/hUGLQkF-dAA
More detailed review by Sonic State:
youtu.be/tsvDAAgtmto
Product page at Make Noise:
http://www.makenoisemusic.com/synthesizers/ohcoast

In their terminology I'm wondering how to emulate the overtone circuit. A 
proper search term on the involved techniques might already be helpful, since 
my searches so far have been too general, resulting in articles completely 
beside the point.

Thanks for any help and best wishes,

Jeanette

Hi,

One wonderful way is to use a sine tone with amplitude 1 and then 
chebyshevpoly, where the k1, k2 etc control the amplitude of next harmonics.
http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/chebyshevpoly.html
 If you need harmonic spectre, otherwise I would say different FM 
manipulations give rich timbre with very little cost.


My two cents, not knowin so much about inner world of synthesis in fact...

What I understand is that there is one oscillator producing 3 waveforms: 
the base sine or triangle and a triangle and a square wave that can be 
mixed to form any combination of even or odd harmonics. It looks like 
the two sub oscillators could do ring modulation or FM also.
So there is no fancy circuit that produces overtones from a sine or 
triangle. The idea is nice and could be simulated using Csound fairly easy.

Hm, ringmod is a possibility. There is an FM circuit anyway, so maybe
that too is involved. Thanks for the idea, I'll give that a try.

you could try generateing bunch of ftgen 10 (increasing in partials complexity) and find oscillator with kfn parameter (or table:a), and switch the waveform by iterateing over bunch of different tables numbers

Not actually sure about the 0-coast specifically, but generally west coast synthesis tends to use wavefolding to add harmonics to simple waveforms. You have to take care when implementing wavefolding in the digital domain to avoid excessive aliasing.  There's been some recent work on emulating the wavefolder from the  buchla 259 and the middle section of the Serge triple wavefolder, but at least the 259 emulation relies on the poly BLAMP technique to reduce the aliasing, and I couldn't figure out how to do it properly myself. You can often achieve a similar result using waveshaping with chebyshev polynomials, and then you can control the precise distribution of harmonics, provided you're using a sine wave as your source, and so with some care avoid aliasing altogether.

is there a way to do oversampling in csound?

Since you can process sample by sample, code can be written in UDOs to oversample.
A simple example is http://www.csounds.com/udo/displayOpcode.php?opcode_id=32,
but I suppsoe more elaborate oversampling can be implemented using similar
principles.
