Cool! Let us know what supersaw type you like best.mcnoone wrote:Thanks for the presets Dennis, and 3ee.
I'll check them out later.
atm I really like the Sweet and the JP-8000 types.
Post your Zebra supersaw tricks and presets here!

OK, imagine a saw wave braked down into harmonic pairs and each pair can be independently detuned and has random phase (and can be stacked via the oscillator mode: ie. dual, quad, eleven)
Yup, that can be done with Zebra as well with interesting results!
So, some more supersaw types coming right up...

8a. Harmonic Pair Supersaw: four oscillators used on SpectroBlend mode. If you'll set them to single mode with re-triggered phase, you would get a "perfect" saw wave. anyway...
The resulting sound is more solid and digital with less beating. If it sounds too "digital" try sweetening it up (see Supersaw type 2) or other method.
8b. Harmonic Pair Supersaw": 3 OSCs in GeoMorph mode (so you can have the high end harmonic content with lower pitches.) This is similar with type 8a, but with a slightly less digital sound and less solid... but it still retains the main character and it uses an oscillator less.
You can try setting the pairs to different modes to hear how it will sound. For example, "dual" mode really brings out the "digital" character.
Yep, 2 sq waves and a saw wave mixed at different octaves .
Set all OSCs to single mode with re-triggered phase and check out the resulting wave using an oscilloscope. Smile .. now mess with the oscillator phases.

This is an attempt to get a constant spread of oscillators in hertz rather than cents, I think I was pretty close to that when I patched this but it was quite a while ago ... It's a little cumbersome, but in a sense orthogonal to tuning by cents or semitones for texture and timbre.
