[request] i think tic80 is suffering this sound problem

i suspect tic80 has suffering this sound issue... because as the video said, triangle waveform is the most similar to sine wave so is often used for bass sounds

.... in tic80 i can't use triangle waves below octave # 4 because it turns from barely audible to absolutely muted (just happen to triangle wave)... moreover as i go down in notes i start to hear the jags/hisses more stronger than the base sound itself ... and if you pay attention to most songs in tic80, you will notice theese high pitched noises between, very notorious in some cases, even more noticeable with headphones

sometimes, even the sound of some channels cancel each other resulting in a "wobbling" sound with some notes/instruments missed

some time ago i noted this issue when remaking draconus song ... so i couldn't get bass sounds as the original octave because was almost inaudible, so i had to leave at 1 octave above, resulting song less faithful ... when i found this video i remembered this immediately, and wanted to share with you

maybe some kind of sound interpolation (EVEN LINEAR) would help to minimize the issue and make tic80 sound better, stronger and cleaner ;)

EDIT: i found a clearer example where jagged triangle "bass", sounds "whistly" instead bass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4nlb1L5e74

-- edit2 after almost a year to avoid religious discussions: this "issue" is actually a request (see the title) to put an option via gui or config file for example, to add a sound interpolation option... that way, if you like sound artifacts you could leave sound as is, but if you want more physically pure waveforms you have the option to enable sound interpolation, that currently we don't have
