Description

A supersaw is available on some synthesizers as an extra waveform, besides the familiar sine, triangle, square and saw. A supersaw is typically seven saws that are slightly detuned. I found out that you also get a nice sound if you replace a saw with a square, so I made this instrument that lets you choose between them. They are called pulse in the interface because you can select the pulse width (does not apply if saw is selected). I did not add presets because it usually sounds good, unless the lo pass knob is too low, and because it does not have that much diversity (but a nice instrument anyway). It sounds best around pitch 7.00 to 9.06, especially in chords. Usage: p4: pitch or frequency p5: in decibels below 0dbfs if 0 or negative, otherwise amplitude as fraction of 0dbfs (0-1) Example: i1 0 2 8.00 -10 i1 0 . 8.02 -10 i1 0 . 8.04 -10
