Maybe that special sound only comes into play with some distortion or
nonlinearity. The effect of distortion will be different as the shape of
the non-cyclic waveform changes, animating the sound. I think this is why
a distortion effect is far less impressive on a guitar-like synthesizer
sound than on that of a real guitar.
