The waveform which determines the harmonic richness of the audio signal. On the
minimoog V, 6 waveforms are available:
• The saw tooth presents the richest audio signal of the 4 waveforms (it contains all of
the harmonics at decreasing volume levels in high frequencies). Its sound is ideal for
brass sounds, percussive bass sounds or rich accompaniments.
• The square possesses a more «hollow» sound that the saw tooth (it only contains
odd harmonics) but none the less, its rich sound (notably in low frequencies) can be
used for sub-bass sounds that will come out well in the mix (the square oscillator is
often set an octave below that of the saw tooth), wood sounds (clarinet, if the square
signal is a little filtered), etc....
