Yes. But still, if you want to form a triangle (and sine) from a saw
wave, that saw must be pretty perfect in terms of reset time and
amplitude over frequency. Aberrations from the saw may be
interesting (CS-80 !), but the derived triangle wave might be
so different from the standard then that you're simply missing
that type of low-harmonic-contents-wave in your VCO.

JH. (who still has to figure out how the CS-80 makes that
       nice sine from that "interesting" saw (;->) )
