Sawbox
A downloadable plugin for Windows and macOS
Make supersaws lightning-fast! Swiftly and simply summon satisfying synthesized sounds!
Supersaw generator
Nine oscillator supersaw made of three groups of three oscillators. Control the detune of the oscillator groups with the Spread value, and the overall detune using the Detune knob.
There is also a LFO that causes a subtle detune drift over long periods for that little bit of extra movement.
The pitch can be increased or decreased by up to two octaves, and the stereo width can be controlled from mono to extra wide.
Lowpass filter
A simple lowpass filter for pads, automation, or simple plucks. The Release value is linked to both the filter and the amplitude.
Randomizer
Dice icon in the top randomizes the synthesizer's values, leaving the tuning alone.
Okay but why
I like the idea of building a song out of a bunch of tiny trinkets that do one thing and do it pretty well. I tried doing that for bass with Blaster, and I'm trying that for classic supersaw leads and pads with this!
