How do you get this throaty kind of distortion on a saw wave

[Kye]

hear it in alot of the tech/electro house tracks nowadays.. saw synth (pretty sure its just a saw, maybe with a lil sine sub..

but the throaty distortion, can anyone try to recreate please, or give tips... maybe some kind of high res filters before the distortion maybe?


Heres a link to what i mean, ill try get more better clips later..

I can get quite similar sounds with phoscyon and its built-in distortion unit.
Try a saw with an open LP filter and moderate resonance, but the real character must come from the distortion.
It depends on the plugins you have.

EQ or resonant lowpass->distortion should do the trick.

very simple,

You need a synth, not virtual analog (NOT Vanguard)...
and CamelCrusher (http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php)

Put a saw wave in the synth and put CamelCrusher in the fx.

Turn up the res on the synth's filter.

Open CamelCrusher and make it look like this

Done! hope this helps

I got it quite fine (IMHO) using just the distortion within the filters in Anna

well, some times the volume changes on analog synths each click, so emulations some times do that.. experment..
