We import our software-generated sawtooth wave into our DAW, where we’ve recorded a sawtooth from an old ARP 2600. If we take a look at both waveforms by zooming in or using an oscilloscope plugin ...

When we are taught about oscillators as newbie engineers, we are shown a variety of waveforms on an oscilloscope or in a textbook. This is a sine wave, they say, this is a sawtooth, this is a ...

This particular video uses the Z-axis input on an analog oscilloscope. The input is composite video that's used to create X and Y sawtooth ramp signals from the vertical and horizontal sync pulses.

It is often used in sound synthesis. See also: Fourier Theorem, Oscillator. Compare: Pulse, Square Wave, Triangle Wave. Sawtooth wave, its description as a Fourier series, and as a line spectrum.
