The sawtooth wave contains all harmonics and is the richest of the available waveforms. It is suitable for
all sorts of sounds.

The pulse wave contains only odd harmonics at 50% pulse width (square wave). This waveform is special
in that its harmonic content can be varied continuously, by adjusting the Pulse Width with the P
W knob. The pulse wave can also be modulated by LFO 1 and the Modulation Envelope. This
IDTH
waveform is suitable for many type of sounds and has a more "hollow" character than the Sawtooth wave.

The sawtooth signal frequency spectrum
The frequency spectrum of a pure square wave. The sig-
nal contains only odd harmonics
The frequency spectrum at 10% pulse width. Now, also
even harmonics are gradually introduced making the
sound "sharper" but also "thinner"
The narrower the pulse width, the more harmonics are
present in the frequency spectrum
