Synth
HotSawz
Just like a synth, HotSawz is a musical palette for creating interesting sounds. HotSawz is based around
classic subtractive synthesis using saw waves for all oscillators. We’re using 6 oscillators that follow a
mono pitch tracker. The filter type is low pass.
HotSawz has three modulation sources: LFO, Envelope Follower, and a Gate, as well as four assignable
modulation destinations: Filter Cutoff, Volume, Pitch, and Oscillator Depth. Each source can be assigned
to any destination at a given time, so multiple sources can modulate the same destination. There are 64
combinations of source to destination assignments.
Mix: Knob has four ranges, each 0 to 100. Each range mixes the dry signal with various oscillator
combinations.
Sub Mix: Mixes in lower octave oscillators only.
S + R Mix: Mixes in lower octave and current register oscillators together.
All Mix: Mixes in lower octave, current register, and octave above oscillators together.
R + U Mix: Removes sub octave oscillators. Mixes in current register and upper oscillators
together.
Osc Depth: Mixes in 2nd oscillators for each register and adds detuning. Also spreads the oscillators
across the stereo field. Modulation sources assigned to Osc Depth are additive.
Cutoff: Controls the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. Filter is in series with wet signal.
Modulation sources assigned to Cutoff are additive.
Resonance: Controls the low pass filter’s resonance.
Speed: Controls LFO’s wave shape and speed. This parameter has four ranges, each 0.1 Hz to 20 Hz
or Whole note to 1/16 note divisions. Each range switches the LFO wave shape.
Tri Spd: Triangle.
Square Spd: Square.
Ramp Dn Spd: Decaying Ramp.
Ramp Up Spd: Rising Ramp.
LFO Amount: Assigns LFO destination and controls amount of modulation. Knob has four ranges.
Each range assigns the LFO to a different destination for modulation.
Cutoff: Assigns LFO to modulate Cutoff frequency.
Volume: Assigns LFO to modulate wet output level.
Pitch: Assigns LFO to modulate pitch +/- 3600 cents.
