Florian,
 
My understanding (peter correct me if I'm wrong) is that any VCO design
uses a primary oscillator (core) whose output will be a waveform
(Triangle or sawtooth for example) and any other types of waveform are
constructed from this primary waveform using waveshaping circuits,
rectifiers etc.
 
It seems that whatever waveform you start with will impart a timbral
characteristic on the other waveforms.
 
This is quite odd when you think about it as a sine wave is a sine wave,
a waveshape that produces the fundamental with no harmonics.
 
However no waveshaper is perfect and that's why if you look at two sine
waves from different VCO's on a scope (with enough resolution) they are
never perfect just close. It's the imperfections that alter the sound
characteristic.
 
Regards
 
David

	Hi David and Peter

	Sorry for my lacks of english, but what does "core" mean in this
case??? 
	The basic waveform the bare VCO is producing (as the Curtis
CEM3340 does 
	triangle, the moogish  VCOs like the A110 does saw)?
