IMHO this can be used mainly as an effect, because combination of square
waves in different octaves approximates missing sawtooth wave (in fact it's
only staircase simulation). It's a lot of years I used 800, I don't remember
well, how exactly it works and haven't Owner's manual right now at my hand.
Maybe in the sawtooth mode it's not possible to switch off individual square
octaves??? Or because they have decreasing volume in higher octaves effect
of switching on/off them will be not to hear well?
But it can have some sense in square mode.
