The table outlines the basic tones of the oscillator waveforms—how they affect your synthesizer sound.
Waveform | Basic tone | Comments |
|---|---|---|
Sawtooth | Warm and even | Useful for strings, pads, bass, and brass sounds |
Triangle | Sweet sounding, softer than sawtooth | Useful for flutes, and pads |
Square | Hollow and “woody” sounding | Useful for basses, clarinets, and oboes |
Pulse | “Nasal” sounding | Great for reed instruments, synth blips, and basses |
