SoundSaw: A Cutting-Edge Tool for Creative Sound Design
SoundSaw by Igor Vasiliev offers innovative features that empower sound designers with unparalleled flexibility and precision in audio manipulation.
SoundSaw is a sophisticated sound processing application featuring intuitive controls tailored to manipulate the audio of musical instruments or vocals, immersing them in the aesthetics and ambience of noise, lo-fi, chiptune, and the experimental music genre.
With the capability to apply subtle distortion and saturation for a natural, dynamic sound or to radically transform the audio into a cacophony of harmonics, cracks, and buzzes, this app unlocks boundless opportunities for sonic experimentation.
All control parameters are thoughtfully arranged on a single screen divided into six sections, following a straightforward signal path from "Input" to "Output", ensuring a seamless user experience. The chain of effects within the app is meticulously crafted to yield captivating results across an extensive range of parameter values.
Key Features:
- Simulates various signal processing electronic circuits, mimicking their distinctive harmonic saturation and noise profiles.
- The Maximizer retains peak signal levels to accentuate distortions and feedback effects, offering a hold function for maintaining maximum volume as the input signal decays.
- The Overload effect emulates electronic circuit behavior when the signal surpasses permissible levels, introducing an array of harmonics.
- The Decimator and Bitcrusher effects generate prominent digital artifacts typical of rudimentary devices with basic DACs / ADCs, alongside crackles and buzzes.
- The Feedback effect replicates controllable acoustic feedback, dynamically adjusting resonant frequencies based on input signal harmonics.
- The 4-pole filter, modulated by an envelope generator, complements distortion effects with filter options including Low pass, High pass, Band pass, and Notch.
- The envelope generator synchronizes with the input signal to produce single or repeating cycles of envelope shapes.
- An output filter allows customization of high and low frequency ranges of the processed signal before mixing it.
