Subject: Re: [motm] Off-Topic: Unusual MiniMoog Waveform

From: Scott Juskiw <scott@...>

I still have my mini. Oscillators 1 and 2 have a
waveform that is a combination of a triangle wave
and a sawtooth wave (situated between the
triangle and ramp waves). It starts with the
first half of a triangle wave (linear ramp from
-5V to +5V in modular-speak), then ends with the
last half of a downward sawtooth wave (linear
ramp from 0V to -5V). Sounds just like you'd
think it would.
