The Quilcom 7SAW synthesiser
Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2017 2:21 pm
Hi all!
Time for a new synth.
This one explores an oscillator inspired by the Roland JP-8000 Supersaw.
Many thanks must go to Adam Szabo, whose definitive paper gives insight into what Roland achieved. I’ve included his paper in the zip so you can read about the technicalities and how he analysed so cleverly what was going on. Also many thanks, as ever, to Martin Vicanek whose work I make extensive use of.
Key features emulated here are:
-7 aliasing sawtooth oscillators to give a richer HF content
-Tracking HPF to remove aliasing lower than the fundamental
-Polyphonic random phase offset, per note played, for the 6 detunable side oscillators
-Mixing to provide compensated levels
In addition the 7 oscillators are spread equally across the stereo field (can be reduced to mono).
The Synth’s architecture is very simple but a rich and varied range is possible, as per my presets.
There is a demo and user guide at

Zip includes Adam’s paper, the schematic, the plugin and the factory presets:

Any comments would be very welcome!
Cheers
