5 most common waveforms

[samsome]

Hi the five most common waveforms are
square, sawtooth, pulse, triangle and sin wave.


Please explain all other waveforms found in synths like Serum or whatever don't get the same attention as these do.

Cuz then you've have to name them all silly.

Those are classic waveforms because you could build analog circuits to generate them. They were around for decades before it was possible to create things like wavetables or FM.

+ noise.

(generally either white noise or pink noise)
