Either way it's all down to taste, but whenever I switch between saw and square on a 303 or similar I immediately prefer the saw. Seems more agressive/bubbly/alive. Interesting that so many people seem to prefer the square afterall...

Glad it doesn't have sinewave, not many harmonics there ;o) Nicely observed toxicosmosis.

saw = odd AND even harmonics

so which one do you think is richer? yes, it’s the saw.
