by selecting no waveshape.

Applying waveshape modulation using a low frequency oscillator or other
modulation source in the mod matrix is a great way to add movement and thickness to
a sound.

a cycle. This provides a way to create more complex, harmonically rich
shapes from simple waveforms—especially when the frequency of Oscil-
lator 1 is set to a different interval than Oscillator 2.
