The figure below shows a sawtooth wave. The filter is open, with cutoff set to its maximum
value. In other words, this waveform is unfiltered.
The figure below shows a sawtooth wave with the filter cutoff near a 50% value. This filter
setting results in suppression of the higher frequencies and a rounding of the edges of the
sawtooth waveform, making it resemble a sine wave. This setting makes the sound softer
and less “brassy.
This example illustrates how using a filter to cut away portions of the frequency spectrum
alters the waveform shape, thus changing the timbre of the sound.
