1222 Tuner VCO Triangle Waveform Output Volume

[CTorp]

Hi Kevin, welcome here.

The short answer is yes it’s normal.

the triangle and saw are made from the square with parts of the wave removed so it does get noticeably quieter

Discussed more here:

Calibrating output signal amplitudes

If I don’t say stupidity, all the waveforms come from the Square, and the more they are “rounded / cut” the more they lose in dynamics. It is therefore normal to have a Sine more low than a Triangle and this one than a Square. Most people just leave it that way I think. Otherwise it would be better to increase the low values, rather than lower the dynamics of Square. I adjust them after in my mixer

And:

It is also true the perceived loudness depends on the wave shape as well as the amplitude. A sine wave sounds quieter than a square wave of the same height.
