The more edges in a waveform, the more overtones it has. The sinewave has no overtones, the square has them all. Triangle and Saw are in the middle.
Changing the shape of a waveform is like using a filter on it. The Shape Oscillators mostly start with a sine wave (no overtones). Changing the shape and making the wave "edgier" creates overtones.
The shaper modules do exactly the same things, they shape the waves.
The idea to mix different waves to change the sound before it is sent to the filter section is the basis of Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing.
