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.

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.
