 This section of the interface allows you to really customize the sound and control the parameters of synthesis.
+===== serialize/deserialize =====
+Use these to get the settings as text. Once they are there, you can modify them. This is good if you want to put in a specific value. Then you can load settings from text using the deserialize button. One way to use this is to make a sound, serialize it, and send it to your friend. Then your friend can paste it in and deserialize it to get the same sound as you. In this way, you can work on the same sound or variations together with a friend remotely.

+[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle|Duty cycle]] refers to how wide the high-amplitude portion of a period of the wave is. Notice that duty cycle is grayed-out for sine and noise waveforms. You notice its effect more on the square wave. Duty cycle has two parameters:
   - duty cycle as a percentage; you may feel that the higher the percentage, the "fatter" the sound
   - sweep as a percentage per second; the same seems to be true here: the higher the percentage, the fatter the sound. the lower the percentage, the more high-end details emerge.
