Even this is not necessary. You can leave out the diode completely
and program the "PW" control to a setting of "10", which gives the
same result (sawtooth only). This is not really spectacular. The
thing gets exciting when adding some amount of pulse wave.

This is part of the optional modifications along with my MIDI kit:
