Sawer Description

A vintage modeling synthesizer, that cuts through the mix to deliver precisely articulated and punchy sounds Sawer pays homage to the envelopes and filters of a rare 1980's Soviet analog synthesizer, Polivoks. The Sawer modeling synthesizer was developed with meticulous attention to details, particularly to the Sawer's filter and envelope designs.This attempt was made in order to ensure that Sawer delivers a unique sonic character reminiscent of the Polivoks hardware. But Polivoks, like all analog synthesizers, wasn't without its problems. Keeping the oscillators stable and in tune has been likened to 'moving a pile of live frogs, by wheelbarrow', impossible! As Sawer is algorithmic, this solves the problems of tuning and stability, however, in the same way electrical component instability makes analog gear unique (if not cranky), Sawer benefits from the 21st century equivalent, a coding error. Here are some key features of "Sawer": · Main oscillator for subtractive synthesis: SAW shape with Sync frequency. · Sub oscillator (-2 to +2 octaves) with level, phase & detune controls. · 1 NOISE Oscillator. · Variable polyphony (1 to 24 voices). · 8 voice UNISON with user-adjustable stereo panning, detune and 'Octaver'. · SYNC & RING frequency modulation. · 2 ADSR envelope generators (one user-assignable to modulation parameters). · 4 FILTER modes - low pass (24 & 12 dB/Oct), band pass and high pass. · Chorus, Phaser, Delay & Reverb effects · Muti-mode Arpeggiator. Requirements: · Intel CPU or G4 PowerPC (Mac) with full Altivec support · 512 Mb RAM · 30 Mb disk space
