锯木厂是受超锯声音启发的乐器。从广义上讲，它并没有试图模仿经典的超锯齿声音，但我认为有趣的是，分层失谐的锯齿振荡器如何将静态声音变成动态纹理。我一直想知道，如果取消调音其他参数，而不仅仅是音高，会感觉如何。例如，您还可以使滤波器，LFO频率，效果等失谐。
欢迎来到锯木厂，在这里您可以使每个振荡器上的所有信号失谐。
一共有七个振荡器，这很像是由七个合成器组成的堆栈，并且可以方便地按类型对控制器进行分组。因此，如果您想调整滤波器的截止频率，则需要处理七个旋钮。它使实验振荡器分层变得容易。
波形图
锯木厂不是您的标准样品库。它是具有采样振荡器的先进而强大的合成器。有32种波形，主要由模块化模拟系统和老式模拟合成器生成。
这些样本相当长，无法捕捉到模拟漂移和微小的电子缺陷，因此听起来更生动。每个样品都经过手工环压，无需任何其他处理，以尽可能合理地保留尽可能多的原始风味。
波形选择主要集中在锯的不同变化上，但也包括其他基本形状，以及可以通过用整流器，环形调制器，逆变器等对振荡器进行整形来在模块中生成的一些奇特波形。域。
锯木厂包含了Kontakt在信号处理领域所能提供的几乎完整的调色板：各种滤波器类型，经典效果，不同类型的包络，具有各种形状和频率调制的LFO。
顺序调制器
此外，还有一些创新功能。
有一个顺序调制器，它是步进定序器和LFO之间的交叉点-您可以对值模式进行编程并将其成形为LFO波形。
有六个模式可以组合和/或修补为不同的参数，例如音高或滤波器截止。实际上，任何参数都可以使用MIDI CC自动执行。
具有可调节加速度曲线的俯仰滑行功能。
然后是高级的多琶音器，就像具有八个琶音器的堆栈一样，您可以按不同的顺序对其进行排序或组合，以根据简单的和弦创建复杂的音符模式。
Sawmill is an instrument inspired by the supersaw sound. In a broad sense, it doesn’t try to emulate the classic supersaw sound but I think it’s interesting how layering detuned saw oscillators turns a static sound into a moving texture. I have been wondering how would it sound if you detuned other parameters, not just pitch. For example, you could also detune filters, LFO frequency, effects etc…
Welcome to Sawmill, where you can detune everything, on every oscillator.
There are seven oscillators and it is quite like having a stack of seven synthesizers, with controllers conveniently grouped by type. So if you want tune a filter cutoff you have a row of seven knobs to deal with. It makes it easy to experiment with oscillator layering.
WAVEFORMS
Sawmill is not your standard sample library. It is an advanced and powerful synthesizer with sampled oscillators. There are 32 waveforms, generated mostly with a modular analog system and vintage analog synthesizers.
The samples are fairly long to capture bits of analog drift and tiny electronic imperfections which makes it sound more alive. Each sample has been looped by hand without any additional processing, to preserve as much of the original flavor as reasonably possible.
The waveform selection is focused mainly on different variations of saw, but it also includes other basic shapes, as well as some fancy waveforms you can generate in a modular by mangling the oscillator with rectifiers, ring modulators, inverters and the like, all in analog domain.
Sawmill includes nearly complete palette of what Kontakt has to offer in signal processing: full range of filter types, classic effects, different types of envelopes, LFOs with various shapes and frequency modulation.
SEQUENCED MODULATOR
Additionally there are several innovative functions.
There is a sequenced modulator, which is a crossover between a step sequencer and an LFO – you can program a value pattern and shape it to the LFO waveform.
There are six patterns which can be combined and/or patched to different parameters, like pitch or filter cutoff. In fact, any parameter can be automated using MIDI CC.
There is pitch glide function with adjustable acceleration curve.
And then there is the advanced multi-arpeggiator, which is like having a stack of eight arpeggiators, which you can sequence or combine in different ways to create complex note patterns out of a simple chord.
DETAILS:
+ 7 oscillator stack with all parameters editable individually for each oscillator
+ 32 sampled oscillator types, analog and vintage digital
+ 2574 hand looped samples (2.75 GB unpacked – open wav)
+ 107 presets in snapshot format
+ Multi-arpeggiator with 8 arp patterns to combine
+ Step sequencer and LFO crossover modulator with 6 editable waveforms
+ Comprehensive set of 32 scales to choose from so the arp can be locked to precise musical notes
+ 35 filter types
+ 105 Snapshots
+ 49 Page User Guide
The instrument is equipped with 4 LFOs, 5 envelopes, a standard set of Kontakt’s effects (chorus, flanger, phaser, delay) and a full palette of Kontakt’s filters and different distortion types, all of which should by multiplied by 7, as each oscillator has a separate set.
There’s also an advanced multi-arpeggiator, which can run several patterns simultaneously and a rather unique step-sequenced modulator (a step sequencer, where you can define sweep curves between steps). In the end it can go well beyond the standard supersaw sound.
SOUNDS
There are 32 oscillator waveforms to choose from. Mostly different flavors of saw and other spiky waveforms as those work best with layering. Oscillator waveforms are tagged by source:
Modern analog – generated with eurorack modular system, based on Intellijel Dixie and Doepfer A-110-4 oscillators, first being triangle core and second sine based (sine waveform is not a derived from other waveforms by waveshaping). There are several saw flavors processed by different
filter types, where cutoff is modulated loosely by pitch CV. Besides regular shapes there are numerous exotic shapes, generated by mixing and
processing regular waveforms, using ring modulators, rectifiers, logic modules etc., all in analog domain.
Vintage analog – generated with Sequential Circuits Six-Track synthesizer, which has a neat feature of mixing three basic waveforms. There are three basic waveforms: saw, pulse and triangle and two mixed waveforms: saw + triangle and saw + pulse. There are also two versions of saw processed with tuned Moog type low pass filter. Tuned means that I used oscilloscope to manually tune the cutoff for each semitone, so the waveform shape is consistent over the whole set. This synthesizer is also the source of noise oscillator.
Vintage string machine – that’s a single pulse waveform recorded from1979’s Siel Orchestra, which had a solo mode being basically a single oscillator out. This set doesn’t cover the whole 84 semitones, lowest and highest octaves will be derived by pitching the samples in Kontakt.
Early mini clone – generated with eurorack oscillator, being the clone of early design of Minimoog model D using no integrated circuits. This set includes Mini’s trademark ‘sharktooth’ waveform and the only rectangle shape available (not exactly rectangle if you look at it).
Vintage digital – two extra waveforms, generated with Casio CZ-3000, a unique phase distortion synthesizer.
