A naive sawtooth oscillator written in five lines of code aliases like a broken modem the moment you tune it above 200 Hz. The trick that fixes it costs almost nothing and almost every modern soft synth uses it.

Open any modern audio DAC chip, ESS Sabre, AKM, Cirrus, the one in your iPhone and the converter at the end of the chain isn't 24-bit. It's 1-bit, switching at several megahertz. Here is the math that makes that work.

Most engineers know the 3:1 rule but not why it works. The answer is in the comb filter transfer function and the inverse square law and the math tells you exactly when a 2:1 ratio is enough.
