Why are there two sliders labeled PW instead of one being labeled PWM?
PW is the manual pulse width position; PWM is for when pulse width is modulated by an envelope or LFO. The 3rd position of “manual” is confusing as that is more like “none” for PWM; however it does adjust the manual position of the wave morphing function.
Thank you for the reply, I was able to figure that out after a bit of frustration. But my question, more accurately, is why is it labeled PW and PWM in the manual’s diagram of the synth but simply labeled PW and PW on the actual synth? Why would they label the product/manual differently?
Is that a photo from your own unit or photos of a pre-production model. The Super 8 definitely has PW and PWM.
That is a photo from my own unit. My unit is brand new and only a couple months old. I did also notice that the S8 has PW/PWM.
Here’s a pic from Devin Belanger’s video and his new SG is the same, PW/PW not PW/PWM. I’m sure if he’s here in the forum he can verify.

lol I’ve never noticed this before, my SG also has PW/PW.
I wonder if @udo-audio has reasoning for this, or if they plan to update.
It’s the same on my unit. Like the +1/-1 inversion on the DDS2 tuning pot.
And the doubling of the Wave “morphing” with PWM is so baroque. I wish @udo-audio would bother to explain those design decisions.

I’m so used to seeing both faders labeled PW that I never gave it any thought. I just took the arrow as an opaque way of saying PWM.
It’s probably a proofing error and was meant to be labeled PWM like with the Super 6.

Wow! I never noticed the +1/-1 inversion until now. I love the sound and feature set of this synth, but I do feel if these weren’t intentional that a new face cover with the correctly labeled parameters should be given out to SG owners as this is a very pricey piece of equipment as well as being their flagship.
if it is intentional, then at minimum an explanation should be given for the same aforementioned reasons.
