The SQUARE waveform has a hollow sound, which does not sound as rich as a sawtooth waveform due to the lack of even harmonics. Traditionally it is often used to emulate a clarinet because of its similarity to the output of the instrument. However in modern electronic music it is commonly used to thin, nasal or cavernous sounds. The SQUARE waveform contains a fundamental sine wave and its odd numbered harmonics at a fixed ratio. The level of each harmonic is the same as the sawtooth wave, i.e. the content of nth harmonic is 1/n, except there are no even-numbered harmonics present.

SAWTOOTH WAVEFORM SWITCH
This switch controls the SAWTOOTH waveform output for OSC 1.
The SAWTOOTH waveform has a rasping, buzzy and hard sound. Classic
synthesizer basses, strings, brass and pad sounds are often created using
sawtooth waveforms. The large range of harmonic content makes the
SAWTOOTH waveform a good candidate to start with when creating a
program that you want to sound "fat."
The SAWTOOTH waveform contains a fundamental sine wave and all of its
integral harmonic sine waves at a fixed ratio.
The characteristics of the SAWTOOTH waveform are shown below:
The SAWTOOTH waveform output can be On/Off. The default program
setting is On.
Note:
The OSC 1 SAWTOOTH waveform output can be used independently or
in combination with the OSC 1 SQUARE waveform output.
There is also a visualization of the SAWTOOTH waveform as shown below:

This switch controls the SQUARE waveform output for OSC 1.
The SQUARE waveform has a hollow sound, which does not sound as rich
as a sawtooth waveform due to the lack of even harmonics. Traditionally it
is often used to emulate a clarinet because of its similarity to the output of
the instrument. However in modern electronic music it is commonly used to
thin, nasal or cavernous sounds.
The SQUARE waveform contains a fundamental sine wave and its odd
numbered harmonics at a fixed ratio. The level of each harmonic is the same
as the sawtooth wave, i.e. the content of nth harmonic is 1/n, except there
are no even-numbered harmonics present.

is On.

combination with the OSC 1 SAWTOOTH waveform output.
