The 12k resistor is just an example, it would be nice if it would be treated 
as a variable.

How can I incorporate the 1N4148 diode characteristics in the final equation?

------------------------------

I did some SPICE emulation (Alfons: I know, I'm not a (real) engineer) and I 
never saw a tangentfunction-like output... 
Assuming one input and one output, (instead of the shown three inputs in my 
first post), if the input signal is a triangle wave, I should get a (not  
perfect) sine wave.

BTW: Does anyone on this list has any experience converting an analog hardware 
synth to a softsynth using the synth's schematics?
