The use of a Triangle wave

[antman]

In my 2 years of making horrific music I have not once found a use for the triangle wave form in any synth.

I find it to be an odd sound when played in any key, I mean what are some good ways to utilize a triangle wave?

Helps harmonizes subbass a little more. I'd use it (layered of course with other things) to make nice minimal house synths

[Method]

Try a triangle wave modulating a sine wave in FM synthesis, and a sine wave at a pitch much higher modulating the triangle wave form ever so slightly...

You are kill the noise.

I use them in risers.

sub, pads, LFO waveform, FM modulator

Especially this. When you're playing chords, and spanning the synth patch over multiple octaves, you don't need that many harmonics. Indeed, shapes such as squares and saws get really obnoxious at that point.
