You are seeing binary operators working on numeric values over time. These operators work by comparing bit positions of two numbers (1&1=1, 0&1=0, 1101 & 1011= 1001). If you look at two numbers smoothly transitioning over time in binary representation, you will see the Most Significant Bits (MSB) change slower than the Least Significant Bits (watch a binary counter to see what I mean). PNW is cycling very quickly, so the overall shape is really dictated more by the MSB, as they change less frequency and have more weight on the total voltage. The “digitization” you are seeing are the rapid changes of the less significant bits fluctuating rapidly, but to a lesser degree.
It's interesting how differently digital handles the numeric values with logic. I was expecting at least the & function to work more smoothly, but that makes sense.
That doesn't appear to be functioning properly. Analog logic (non boolean) AND should follow the lowest signal's value smoothly. I'm not sure exactly what is happening here, but it's interesting. I'm not sure what I'd call it but it seems useful.
Awesome video!
I have a Pam's and I had no idea it did that. Amazing!
The logic stuff is kind of a game changer with Pams.

This is a bitwise boolean operation?
@@GeorgeLocke Yes, ALM has confirmed that Pam's uses bitwise logic.
@@RobotsAreRed that's wacky. I guess Pam's is really pushing up against its cpu limits if it can't perform x>y?x:y
@@GeorgeLocke quite disappointing, analog logic (min / max) would be much more useful
This is really weird. I'm going to have to test this on my Pam's. Why it do?

It should, yes. That is the digital logic. Where I compare it side by side to the analog AND function (A VCA) you can see that it follows smoothy.
The logic functions in Pams aren't analog logic but bitwise logic of the underlying binary representation (10-bits) of the value of the output.
@@BeniRoseMusic how cool! That is some fun shit right there. It's like circuit bending.
