Doing complex sounds with math // DSP style patching

In this incredibly long video, I'm limiting myself to using math nodes only to prove a point: math in sound synthesis can be used intuitively in many cases. This kind of exercise helps a lot to understand what's going on under the hood of things, and in understanding sound and signal processing in general: although the final patch itself could have been built from just a handful of nodes available in Alpha Forever in about a minute.
