This characteristic is typical of the first wavetable synthesizers and contributes main and the sub. These oscillators are combined and then transformed into to their distinctive sound. The Wave offers the option to reduce these artifacts analog signals via a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Following this conversion, through the Osc setting in the User menu.
