In the Internal Filter FX, what does "LFO Shape" actually do?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

From the manual: LFO Shape

Defines how the LFO evolves over time.

Uh-huh.

So I have some theories:

It does a soft transition between triangle - sine - square OR
It changes the pulse width so that 50% is equidistant and 0% squeezes the "rising" side where 100% squeezes the "falling" side
It changes the width of the peaks and troughs so that at 0% the lowest part of the output lasts longer and at 100% the highest part lasts longer

Without a visual readout it's pretty hard to tell.

Does anything have a definitive answer?

The lfo is an equal exponential rise and fall at 0, to then a sawtooth by increasing the attack speed followed by, then, increasing the sustain of the peak whilst also shorting the decay until a square

Awesome - thanks for that. Can I ask where you were able to find that info, or did you conduct some experiments on your own?
