If you listen to any major release, your gonna hear a sawtooth wave one way or another. Its like the trance 4x4 beat, its not going away. I know people that can't stand the pocky kicks we use today, not to mention the same beat, but its not going away is it? It is what defines the genre. |
Cue 303.
[edit]
Maybe I should have said "cue 909" or "cue 808"
Whutever. I still use'm. |

I've only recently started playing about with SuperSaws (mainly due to this thread!) but cannot make an epic, huge, airy sound.
I've tried using SuperSaw Plus, but to no avail. If anyone else uses it, could you post a screenshot showing the position of all the controls that give you that much-desired sound? |

Thanks - that looks like a nice meaty synth to get stuck into.
What effects do people put on their supersaws?
I'm thinking just a little bit of reverb, delay and maybe subtle phaser. |

Delay, reverb.
Other than that, it's not going to sound like a superwave because the phaser "colors" the sound. The phaser adds character of its own. Now if you want a phaser sound... that's something else.
You can use a very very noisy chorus or light distortion... if you really want to. |

I want to rephrase this. I prefer not to use effects outside of the instrument you are using, because the instrument you are using was written/built with it's particular sound in mind, and therefor it's easier keep within the boundaries of that sound. However, if that's not the sound you're looking for, by all means, use outside effects.
A good example of what I'm talking about though, is the synth1 vst. It has tonnes of effects built in, all absolutely awesome for supersaws. You can still get carried away with it, but it's really easy to tweak for the sound you're aiming for (in this case, supersaw).
synth1 is my fave VST right now btw. Confusing at first because the interface sucks, but once you take a second to look at the controls it's really quite a powerful little dodad. |

You forgot to mention that its free too :)
Another plus for synth1, I guess i never took the second to check it out fully, I just played around with it. |
