Math
Raises the first value to the power of the second value. In synthesis it is useful for curved envelopes, wave shaping, and harmonic emphasis.
Use moderate values first, then increase modulation depth while listening for clipping, aliasing, or excessive filter resonance.
pow(sin(X), 2*ceil(17*exp(-pos()/3000))-1)
For pitched oscillator functions, X already contains the current MIDI note pitch and transpose information. Prefer saw(X), sin(X), or pwm(X, 0.4) unless you intentionally want an octave or ratio shift such as 0.5*X or 2*X.
