This is the purest waveform: It contains only the fundamental harmonic, and no higher harmonics. As a result, it’s a great wave to use to create a sub bass as well as a kick drum or other pure drum tone; it’s also a great source wave to use when exploring techniques such as frequency modulation (FM), amplitude modulation (AM), or wavefolding which add or shift harmonic content.
