How to get perfect Square wave

Hello :wave: any tricks to get perfect square wave on a4 mk2 ?

Use just a Sub from an OSC if you want to keep it perfect (sans PWM)

-4 sounds pretty perfect to me…

-4 pw on which wave ?

Square. But use your ears, this is possibly something that’s affected by (mis)calibration on a particular machine.
The suboscillators will be exact square waves I think, because subosc is usually generated by a flipflop circuit, which produces a perfect square wave.

Square.

Square is actually a pulse with a 50% duty cycle, so as above use PULse

To get a perfect square wave you need to add an infinite number of sine waves. Within a set bandwidth a square wave is always going to be a little bit jagged :nerd_face:

In theory yes but it’s not an additive synth.
An analog square wave oscillator can be done like this

Digital square waves will also be perfect.

Haha, I know, I was being a square :wink:

Ugh sorry, I mean PUL. PUL with PW set to -4 should give you a good 50% square wave
