Stream Power does not do what I want

When I use the Stream Power element I don't get the results I expect. Can somebody tell me why? 🙂 I have added the synthmaker file with a selector in it. The first selector is a multiplication of a sine curve. Multiplied 5 times. x * x * x * x * x = x Now I thought I could replace this with Stream Power. So the second selector contains the Stream Power where the sine curve is raised to the power of 5. I thought this should create the same calculation and so the result. x^5 = x * x * x * x * x = x But the result is something weird and not usable. The scope output looks weird. Not like a curve. More like an overpowered or broken curve thing.

Base must be higher than 0. Also stream power is very inefficient compared to just multiply.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
