Rhythmic Robot Audio Insanity Saw KONTAKT

源自 Roland 合成器 Jupiter 和 Super Jupiter wave 的 Monster 模拟锯齿机 – 将 Jupiter 6 与双 MKS80 相结合!堆叠和失谐多达 23 个锯齿(包括一个巨大的低音炮) 用于即时音乐随机补丁的故障按钮 灼热的俱乐部主音或闪亮的模拟琴弦……您的电话

Insanity Saw 诞生于一个非常简单的问题:你会不会有太多的锯齿我们在实验室里本能的回答是“不,当然不会。多锯好!” (正如罗伯特·海因莱因(Robert Heinlein)曾经说过的那样,“一切都过分了——适度是给僧侣的”——这对合成器和其他东西都有好处。)

 

Monster analogue sawtooth machine sourced from Roland synths Jupiter and Super Jupiter waves – combine a Jupiter 6 with twin MKS80s! Stack and detune up to 23 sawtooths (including a massive sub) Glitch button for instant musically-randomised patches Searing club leads or shimmery analogue strings… your call
Insanity Saw was born from a very simple question: can you ever have too many sawtooths Our instinctive answer here in the lab was “no, of course not. More saws good!” (And as Robert Heinlein once said, “Everything in excess – moderation is for monks” – which holds good for synthesisers as well as other things.)
 
But the idea was born. Lots of saws. All stacked up. Detunable. Not just the same saw over and over – different saws, from different instruments, each with their own slightly wonky analogue mojo. And since Roland pioneered the “stacked saw” concept, with their SuperSaw back in the 90s, we felt it only fair to use Roland gear as our source material here. Specifically – two sawtooths from a Jupiter 6 (one from each oscillator), plus two sawtooths from a Super Jupiter MKS80 (one from each oscillator), plus another two sawtooths from a different Super Jupiter MKS80 (one from each oscillator) – because in a moment of borderline genius, Mongo bought two MKS80s on the grounds that they’d sound better stacked in unison. (And he was right.)
 
Plus a couple of extra batches of sawtooths taken from the Super Jupiters running in unison mode, where all 16 oscillators get stacked. Plus a sub. Which is also a sawtooth.
 
What’s not included Well: sines, squares, any flavour of pulse wave, noise… if you want those kind of shiny baubles, get yourself some lame-assed “proper synthesiser”. Because all we’ve got here is saws. LOTS OF SAWS. ALL THE SAWS.
 
Clicking in a single oscillator can garner you narrow, wiry, insectoidal melodic patches that weave to and fro through the mix. Stacking three or four opens up classic synth territory – bouncy poly tones, walking basses, fun with the filter and so on. Or keep going, stacking saws on saws, for rave anthem leads (with the filter up) or sweet, singing string washes (with the edge taken off and some judicious envelope work). And of course you can always just punch the Glitch button for some instant randomised patch creation – its clever “musically intelligent” randomisation is designed to give you good results more often than not.
 
The control set is taken from MiniJupe – so already tailored to a Roland Jupiter DNA – and includes both high- and low-pass filters, mono and poly modes, a very cool glide / portamento control, twin LFOs with fade-in, and some simple but well-chosen effects. The big fun, though, comes from stacking, detuning and spreading the various oscillator waves. In fact, the real test of willpower is not sticking in all the buttons for every patch…
Insanity Saw, as the name suggests, is both saw-based and a bit mad. If you want a properly versatile, do-anything synth, this isn’t it. But if you just want the glorious experience of dialling up 23 vintage Roland sawtooth oscillators and then playing huge, wonderful chords with them in lushly throbbing stereo, then this is for you. Forget cowbell, you need more saw.
