Notice, in this case, that the shape of the output waveform, and
thus the spectrum, changes with the amplitude of the input signal.
The spectrum becomes richer as the input level is increased, a
characteristic we already observed in sounds produced by musical
instruments.
Figure 7:
Using the waveshaper from
Figure 6, the spectrum becomes richer as the input
level is increased.
