What is a sinesaw waveform?

Is this a cross between a sine and a saw? Another name for a saw?

Thank you!

Sinusawdal waves don’t exist… do they?

?

Rytm manual says DVCO has sine and sinesaw waves. I have never heard of a sinesaw.

I captured the waveform in Logic, this is what it looks like:

It almost looks like they take a sine wave and at its peak flip the phase, creating a sharp edge.

(I used DVCO OSC Config 10 which has sinesaw on OSC1. I set decay of OSC2 to 0 in order to get reading for only OSC1)

It’s a saw with the lower frequencies boosted and the higher frequencies attenuated, giving a less bright and more vintage sound.
