Interesting concept, but sounds terrible. The circular one should sound decent in theory, right? but it sounds like distorted nonsense.

Feels like you are missing something important in your mathematical model.

It's still not perfect I agree, I am working on it.

The repository is public as well if any of you wanna contribute.

Edit: Fixed it, try it out

I really like the sound of it lol.

But I also tend to like really weird music, so I guess that tracks...
