My point is that something like a sawtooth wave form has a softer and more harmonious combination of partials. By contrast, with many somewhat caustic digital tones, it's off to a bad start. And yes, a wide open filter can contribute to that as well, but there can still be a problem even when the filter is substantially closed. Those dissonant partials can still be heard.
As for drawbar organ settings (regardless of sound generation, since many or most drawbar organs are now digital), there are combinations of tones which would instantly give me an ear ache, and I could recognize them as soon as I heard them, before the pain came. I had to avoid Hammond organs for years - whether in small churches or in my own music room - even though I quite liked them. Interestingly, pipe organs have never caused the same problem, even though they're fairly loud, especially when the shrill "mixture" stop is used. So, this has especially to do with electronic tones and the types of electronic tones used especially in digital synthesis.
I have no concerns with patches from the Prophet '08. Of course, I could deliberately design sounds using multiple oscillators and additive synthesis that would cause the same pain, but I naturally don't do that. But when it comes to the Poly Evolver's digital oscillators, I have to be careful to keep the volume especially low, or else.
I'm just commenting on the facts of experience. This has been a serious health issue over the years, and I many times feared having to give up music altogether. That's why I've carefully analyzed the problem. And it appears others have had similar problems. I'm not making a pro-analog/anti-digital argument. After all, I'm an overt Evolver enthusiast who is constantly working in digital synthesis. But I have to be careful even with my own Evolver YouTube recordings, which I would never listen to while wearing head phones. By contrast, I don't need to be careful with the P'08 recordings.
