Arturia 2.6 manual Square waveform

could be used for sub basses emphasized in the mix (the square oscillator should be thus set an octave below the that of the saw tooth), wooden sounds (clarinet if the square signal is a little filtered), etc.

The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is a setting which allows the modification of the square ware form cycle (or wave width). This can be done manually with the “PW” knob or through modulation (using an envelope or a LFO). This variation of impulse width is translated by a spectrum modification, not unlike a waveform change.

Unlike classic analog synthesizers, the Moog Modular V allows you to change the impulse width through not only the square waveform, but also the sawtooth and triangle. This offers a large number of sonorities on top of the base signals.

Square waveform

∙The triangle could be considered like a much-filtered square signal (thus very soft). It is very poor in harmonics (impair equally) and will be very useful for creating sub basses, flute sounds, etc.
