Hi All,

On recent threads i have seen the term "Super Saw" used in discussions about Trance Music. Can anyone explain.

Sure, Millsyy2k.

First, do you know what a saw wave is? Here is a definition:

Now, are you familiar with that cartoon Voltron or those Transformers ones? You remember how all the little robots turn into one big *super* one and it's so awesome?

Okay, it's the same principle here... picture a family of saw waves, joining together to form one big YUGE (in the Donald Trump sense) one. Some are shorter than others, some are taller, some are kind of wobbly -- the technical term might be "detuned" or "chorused" -- but the fact is this is a family of saw waves.

THIS is a supersaw... not just one, but many saw waves combined, played at the same time, to unleash harmonic power across many a dancefloor -- commonly associated with melodic/epic/uplifting/term-du-jour trance. The layering is as rich as an exotic chocolate cake.

Here is a demo I found. The first part of the track is one saw wave. The second part is a SUPERSAW.

Thanks to clubbedtodeath for this sample. For its use in a complete track, this is a diverse track I did highlighting various trance cliches for fun and honor:

There are variations on the basic theme, but keep listening and your ears will get the hang of it.

I hope this helps! :)
