Specifically, we have the super-saw preset to serve as a template for our own designs. Now, is the super-saw an instrument or a preset? If the former, what are some examples of presets of this instrument. If the latter, what does the instrument look like? I don't see a clear interpretation in either case.
It's easy to visualize how an instrument like a draw-bar organ might have presets for rock organ, gospel organ, jazz organ, etc. But when we get to synth-type sounds, it's far less obvious where this is supposed to go.
The supersaw is an instrument. A preset would be settings of the generator and fx of the supersaw that sound good. I don’t think the supersaw device has any presets because I assumed it was just a placeholder and not really a guide on what people should make.
Synth sounds should be just as easy as an organ. Just think of it in terms of making a synth and not just a preset. You could make something complex like Sylenth1 or something easy like kick-maker. Just make sure there are enough parameters and fx that you could reasonably come up with variations.
IMHO if people think generally, instead of a specific sound, it will be easier to for people to come up with synth ideas.
), each with different GUI, generator etc., so in a way each instrument is more like a dedicated plugin. And so it makes logical that we can also make presets for these instruments, which are available on the easy screen (not the top level preset button, but the preset button in the Super-saw panel for example).
. How much you'd be able to do to it, that depends on the sound, the instrument. You probably won't be able to do too much to a concert piano, but things may be very different with some ambient texture for example. Makes sense?
