NuSaw

What it does

A polyphonic supersaw synth: 3 to 25 detuned sawtooth oscillators with a sine sub two octaves down, a resonant low-pass or band-pass filter at 12 or 24 dB with key tracking, and dual ADSR envelopes. Effects are drive, chorus, tempo-synced ping-pong delay and plate reverb. Three LFOs and the mod wheel feed a six-slot modulation matrix, with an arpeggiator and step gate for movement.

In the demo

Jade runs it as an AUv3 in AUM, plays the same chord at three saws and at 25, then walks through the sub, filter and effects. She routes an LFO into the cutoff, sets up the arpeggiator and gate, and closes with pads, strings and an acid bass from the presets.

Worth knowing

Built around big 90s dance and trance sounds and Reese basses rather than general subtractive duty. Preset import works only in the standalone, and the output runs loud, so trim the level before adding drive.
