[Scilab-users] The sound of mathematical formulas

Hello,

Cascaded frequency modulation gives nices sounds. For example signals like

sin((w0+a1*sin(w1*t))*t)

w1 itself can also be modulated, and so on. This kind of synthesis was 
used by the famous Yamaha DX-7 and gave typical sounds (bass guitar, 
bells, ...)
