ANALOGySAW

What it does

A virtual analog synth built around the supersaw sound of 1990s digital synths: up to five unison saw oscillators per voice across ten voices, with detune, drift and stereo spread, an attack, decay, sustain and release envelope, a 24 dB lowpass ladder filter with resonance, velocity sensitivity and a limiter. A second page adds a pitch LFO with a fade in, a filter envelope and a filter LFO with its own drift, all reachable from the mod wheel.

In the demo

Jade steps the unison dial up a voice at a time so each added oscillator is audible on its own, then works through detune, spread and the filter, and holds a note while the pitch LFO fades in. She plays the presets, from stereo swells to a polyphonic filter bass and a string machine, and MIDI learns an external LFO to the detune control.

Worth knowing

There are no built-in effects and no waveform beyond the saw, so reverb and delay come from elsewhere in the chain. Every parameter is exposed to the host, which is how the external LFO gets in.
