A geometrical waveform typically generated by an oscillator. It resembles a series of ramps placed nose to tail. It has all possible harmonic partials (odd and even numbered). The amplitude of each harmonic is the reciprocal of its number in the series (i.e. the 5th. harmonic is a 5th. the amplitude of the 1st.) It has a very powerful and brassy timbre. It sounds the same whether the ramp rises left to right or falls left to right. Sometimes called sawtooth. See also See also Pulse Wave, Sine Wave, Square Wave, Triangle Wave.
