Hello all -

I just had an interesting session with my audio redcording software 
(in this case Cool Edit 2000).  I hooked a 300 directly to my console 
and recorded a bit of each waveform.  Did the same for the 310.

This is probably a great opportunity to show how knowledgeable I 
truly am.

Let's start with the SQUARE out: it's not square! It goes straight 
up, then exponentially down, creating a sort-of fast-attack 
exponential-decay wave form above zero, then inverts the same 
waveform below zero.  Could this be why the square output has always 
seemd a little buzzy to me?  Not a bad thing, mind you.

The SAW looks just like the positive half of the SQUARE, except that 
it dips below zero a couple of db.

The 310 OUT is the same as 300 SQUARE when 310 SHAPE is a 10.  SHAPE 
at 0 gives same as 300 SAW and shape at 5 is a combo of the two.

SO the stupid question: why isn't the SQUARE square and the SAW saw?
