Slight correction - they are sawtooth waves, not triangle waves. Only the VCO module has a triangle wave. Triangle is much closer to sine waves and thus sounds softer and has less harmonics than a sawtooth. Otherwise, awesome video as usual!
I think the primary downside with the OSC2/d is that it doesn't have fine-pitch tuning. Thus tuning it can be very fiddly. It's worth mentioning that the OSC2/d is a replacement for the OSC2 module, one of the very first AE modules. The OSC2 module has poor tracking -- perhaps only about 1.5 octaves linearly -- and the OSC2/d was meant fix that. Which it does quite well.
I did read about that older module, but thankyou for sharing it here. Yeah, it can be a hit fiddly to tune but I find you can get there eventually. I predominantly use it for bass lines (as you can probably tell). Seems to be a lot more forgiving when tuning in that range ;)

Thanks mate! Yeah, I often get the names of those backwards for some reason. Will pin this to the top!
