I want to add my 2 cents on

--disable-oversampling

option available in some forks.

In my testing the treble output gets slightly elevated with this option called vs. without it. I confirmed this with a spectrogram. There may be a technical explanation related to how SDL handles sample rate mixing. I don't know the specifics. Based on the spectrogram it could be that residual frequency content stays contained in ultrasonic frequencies, thus inaudible, whereas without oversampling the residual content gets combined in the audible frequency ranges instead.

What matters most to me is that I prefer the warmer tonal quality when

--disable-oversampling

is omitted. It clashes less next to output from other synths.

Very interesting, i need to try this option.
