The triangle wave does not have very strong harmonics. Furthermore they only appear at odd harmonic
numbers. The first fact makes the tone pure, a bit like a flute, and the second fact gives the sound a slightly
“hollow” character.

The pulse wave is slightly more complicated, because it is not one waveform, it is many different ones. A
pulse wave is a waveform that during one period jumps once between full positive amplitude and full neg-
ative and then back.The thing that can be varied is where within the period you jump from maximum to
minimum amplitude. Let’s look at three examples:
