Saws All
Virtual Edition

Is it a complex 8-channel drone, probability-driven drum machine, or a groovebox? Yes!
It started as an amusing idea: an 8-channel drone engine that only uses sawtooth waves called the Saws All.
With trigger lengths, timing controls, and extended LFOs, the drone engine quickly became a canvas for ambient soundscapes, arps, and chords. That inspired a new challenge: create an 8-channel drum synth that uses sawtooths instead of sine waves, powered by beat probability for manageable randomness instead of a standard step sequencer.
Finally, a fuzzy mono-synth was born and split into two faces—bass and lead—to fill in the gaps.
The project officially evolved into something beyond expectation. Saws All is a beautiful-sounding sawtooth groovebox with a quirky workflow and a massive amount of character. Spend hours playing with drones and exploring melodic polyrhythms and percussive chaos.
-The Engine & Features-
• Sawtooth Drone Engine: 8 independent channels that can drone endlessly or trigger for set lengths and rests. Set different waiting periods across channels to generate lush, complex polyrhythms. Shape your sound with bitcrushing, delay, and 6 LFOs per channel (pitch, panning, filter, plus 2 customizable slots) to craft gliding drones, arps, chords, and wild effect rhythms.
• Probability Drum Synth: 8 channels of physical drum modeling driven by beat probability for the perfect blend of groove and evolving randomness, replacing the rigid loops of a standard step sequencer.
• Dual Fuzz Synths: Dedicated Bass and Lead mono-synths with virtual keybeds and dynamic pitch ribbons to fill out your low-end and melodies.
• Performance Mode: Customize macro pads on the fly to trigger live FX, tape stops, stutters, and more using the universal recorder.
• Song Mode: Save scenes, arrange full songs, and bounce your tracks directly to high-quality audio files.
• Share Your Sounds: Export and share individual scenes, drum models, or entire projects with friends using lightweight JSON files.
• Pro Mode: Turn off the guardrails. Take parameters deeper and bypass factory limits with manual value inputs.
