> Was I right about the sawtooth wave

yes, the a111 has a rising sawtooth wave.
there is no audible difference for
rising or falling sawtooth waves,
it only makes a difference when the vco is used
as an lfo or as master vco for a wavetable
lookup device (like the blacet miniwave).
especially for this you want a rising sawtooth wave.
