Supersaw

Seven detuned saws spread across the stereo field

Open in the synth with a demo patch Open Modular

What it does

The Supersaw is seven sawtooth oscillators with symmetric detuning and stereo spread. Detune is how far the voices drift apart (small is a thick unison, large is a trance pad), Width is how far they sit to the sides. Through a low-pass and Reverb it is the classic wide pad; with a short envelope, a dense lead.

Ports

note: Note: retune
pitch: Pitch cv (±1 = ±octave)
out: Sound

Parameters

Note · Detune · Width · Glide · Level

Try this

Supersaw → low-pass at 600 Hz with a slow LFO → 10 s Reverb: a pad for the whole ambient.
Detune 5–8 cents is not "trance" but a warm unison.
It is monophonic in pitch — it takes the last note; for chords use a Voice.
