It looks pretty much like a sinewave, but still has all the harmonics and 
the timbre of a triangle.  That's pretty cool.  Another example of 
substantially different looking waveforms with the same sound.  Also goes to 
show that what initially *looks* like a decent sinewave can actually have 
quite high distortion!

....Also the triangle has its overtones in other phases than the square for 
instance, so there's no way of phase-aligning all the traditional waveforms 
saw/sqr/tri/sin and get all their overtone phases to match. But the triangle 
becomes a nice almost-half-circular waveform if you align them!
