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: SAWTOOTH WAVE OSC (SAW) • 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. The characteristics of the SQUARE waveform are shown below: SQUARE WAVE OSC (SQR) HARMONIC CONTENT f 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 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: HARMONIC CONTENT f 3rd 5th 7th 9th The SQUARE waveform output can be On/Off. The default program setting is On.
