Yes, it must be some rather clever circuit doing that.
My guess (but nothing more) ATM is that they generate
a short pulse that is used to gate part of the original
waveform, then use the 'frequency dependent phase' i.e.
allpass filters to hide the impulsive waveform.
Would the pulse always be the same, or do you think the original waveform
would influence the pulse in any way? I guess if you were using a pulse, it
would give a lot more control over the "texture" of the harmonics produced.
