Synths - supersaw reimplemented

[pjagielski]

Hi,
I want to submit reimplemented version of "supersaw" synth. I think it could replace the existing one, but I can also submit this as a synth with a new name.

The implementation is highly based on this SuperCollider code:

http://sccode.org/1-4YS

(actually, without the LFO part).

It basically creates 2x5 (original frequency and 1 octave below) saws detuned by random value from 0.99 to 1.01, with a little delay. I also added a bit of noise to spread the sound a bit.

I found this SC code while trying to reimplement Count Om Me by Chase & Status (original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91V0Cqx9TzM tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEjskFsvAk8)

The Sonic PI code for supersaw part is here: https://gist.github.com/pjagielski/dfcf03f3007688251ee6aadbd9fe3a21

It sounds like this on old supersaw: https://instaud.io/oUn (some cracks here)

This is on new version: https://instaud.io/oUl

Looking forward for feedback!

When the synths are created according to https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/blob/master/SYNTH_DESIGN.md, there's usually a graphviz .dot file that's created at the same time - maybe it's a good idea to add the .dot file for this synth to the PR too?

This looks ace. Could you give it a different name other than supersaw? Happy for it to be very similar...

[pjagielski]

OK, how about tech_saws? (can underscore be used in synth name?)

I can submit also tech_pluck which sounds like this https://instaud.io/oWF, interested?

[samaaron]

Yep, tech_saws sounds great - also i'm very interested in any other synths you want to contribute
:)

OK, I'll get back to this after the weekend ;)
