INSTRUMENTS / GENERATORS SawerTRIAL ONLY: Sawer is provided as a demo version in FL Studio and needs to be purchased separately so you can save projects containing Sawer channels. Sawer is a vintage modeling synthesizer, that can cut through a mix with precisely articulated and punchy sounds. Video tutorials here.

OverviewSawer DevelopmentFilters & OscillatorsSawer pays homage to the envelopes and filters of a rare 1980s 'Soviet era' analog synthesizer, Polivoks. Maxx has devoted meticulous attention to the detail of Sawer's filter design, ensuring Sawer delivers a unique sonic character reminiscent of the Polivoks hardware. But Polivoks, like all analog synthesizers, wasn't without its problems. Keeping the oscillators stable and in tune has been likened to 'moving a pile of live frogs, by wheelbarrow' - impossible! As Sawer is algorithmic, this solves the problems of tuning and stability. However, in the same way electrical component instability makes analog gear unique (if not cranky), Sawer benefits from the 21st century equivalent, a coding error. While programming the SAW oscillator, Maxx accidentally set some incorrect variables and immediately the sound gained bass, acquired some light but pleasing noise on the attack and an overall richer sonic spectra. Maxx realized this was not a mistake, it was a discovery. Building on this sound Maxx added some frequency modulation to give it a touch of analog 'authenticity', and so Sawer was born. Physical EnvelopesSawer carries forward the 'physical' envelopes first heard in Toxic Biohazard. Physical envelopes are named as such because they are modeled on the physical decay & resonance of natural sounds. Rendered in real-time, without interpolation to avoid noise artifacts, they allow Sawer to deliver incredibly fast, sample-accurate, envelopes. FeaturesSawer has the following key design features -
