I had heard it had saw and square outputs, which seems more practical
for a "second" VCO. Don't get me wrong, I love triangle waves for
bass patches, but square and saw seem more useful for driving other
modules. Anyway, the SHAPE knob seems to be labeled "SOU" and "SAW".

In the original discussion (sorry, I don't know of an accurate search
term), Paul stated that this VCO would be built around a different
core - one which produced a triangle as its basic waveform. Hence,
the dedicated triangle output. You may as well have a second VCO with
potentially a slightly different sound for variety, eh?

The other output is manually variable from SAW to SQUARE.

What the heck is a "SOU"??

A Sou is a French gold coin, which was declared obsolete by
Charlemagne. It was replaced by the Livre (worth 20 sous), and the
Denier (worth 1/12 sou).
