I've noticed this with my LP, as well...even after getting it back from Moog. I think it's just the nature of the Phatty's oscillators.

This precisely why I got rid of my Voyager Old School. It was difficult to get exactly a sawtooth wave, with the continually variable waveform knob, as it wasn't exactly producing it when the knob was actually pointing right at that waveform around the knob. I had to move it a bit to the right (towards the square in my case) to get a proper sawtooth with all the harmonics (confirmed by looking at the audio output on an oscilloscope).

I suppose the SP and LP might share the same annoyances ?

I prefer being "limited" by the fixed waveforms rotary switch of my Minimoog D.

On the contrary, I find it quite liberating to have so many waveforms at my fingertips. So the saw isn't really a saw...the saw is a couple LED's over. No big. I would think there would be more limitations only being able to choose saw or pulse or triangle waves as opposed to havng a blend of two waveforms in varying degrees.
