ANALOGySAW Super Saw Synth (AUv3)

ANALOGySAW is a virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth.

Overview

ANALOGySAW is a tribute to the "super saw" digital synths from the 90's, wrapped up in old-school virtual-analog warmth, with a few "ANALOGy" twists.

Featuring up to five unison saw wave oscillators per voice, and ten voice polyphony with detune, drift and stereo spread options, ANALOGySAW might be your new favourite mini synth for big STEREO atmospheric pads, or dreamy EDM textures.

Breaking from the "super saw" tradition, the number of unison oscillators is continuously variable between one and five, allowing for some interesting "in-between" sounds not available on other synths.

The virtual analog vibe is also well represented with randomised tuning drift for the voice oscillators and modulation LFOs.

ANALOGySAW also breaks slightly from the "ANALOGy" family tradition by offering a full ADSR amp envelope, a 24dB "ladder" filter, and a separate modulation section with dedicated LFOs for pitch and filter modulation, plus filter envelope.

MIDI Implementation

ANALOGySAW is a 10 voice polyphonic velocity-sensitive MIDI instrument and is playable over a keyboard range from A0 (21) to C7 (96) on any MIDI channel. ANALOGySAW also responds to mod wheel, expression / volume (CC#11), sustain (CC#64), all notes off (CC#123) and pitch-bend (+/- 2 semitones).

About The UI

Not everyone likes the UIs of my latest (2025) plugins - I get it. However, the simplistic and generic approach allows me to (a) 99% focus on the DSP, sound quality and CPU performance, and (b) significantly reduce the development (and potential maintenance) time, which is reflected in my pricing.
