Supersaw OSC by CFA-Sound: The Legendary Roland JP8000 Sound in Your DAW
Electronic music and synthesizer sound enthusiasts, get ready! The Supersaw OSC plugin from CFA-Sound brings the iconic Supersaw oscillator directly to your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Based on the legendary Roland JP8000 and JP8080 synthesizers, this VST instrument offers a pure, focused emulation of one of the most recognizable sound elements in the history of electronic music.
The Supersaw oscillator, first introduced by Roland, quickly gained legendary status thanks to its unique, multi-layered sound. It combines several sawtooth waves, slightly detuned from each other, creating an effect of incredible density, width, and “fatness” that cuts through the mix perfectly. This sound has become a cornerstone of genres such as Trance, Techno, House, and many others, defining their sound aesthetics.
Key Features of Supersaw OSC
Supersaw OSC by CFA-Sound focuses on the most accurate reproduction of the original oscillator’s character. While it is not a complete copy of the entire synthesizer, its goal is to give you exactly what makes the Supersaw special. The plugin emulates only the oscillator itself with some basic controls, making it easy to use but an incredibly powerful sound-shaping tool.
- Supersaw Oscillator Emulation: At the heart of the plugin is a carefully recreated behavior of the Supersaw oscillator from Roland JP8000/8080 synthesizers. CFA-Sound developers have made efforts to achieve maximum proximity to the original, especially in such critical aspects as wave mixing and detuning behavior.
- Basic ADSR Envelope: For quick sound shaping and adapting it to different parts (leads, pads, basses), the plugin is equipped with a simple but effective ADSR envelope (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). This allows you to control how the sound starts, continues, and fades.
- Output Volume Control: Easily adjust the level of the signal coming out of the plugin for optimal balance in your mix.
Why Use Supersaw OSC?
Even if you already have synthesizers with the Supersaw function, the plugin from CFA-Sound can be a valuable addition to your arsenal. Its simplicity and focus on the original sound make it ideal for situations where you need exactly that classic, unadulterated Supersaw sound without unnecessary features or complexities. It is perfect for:
- Creating powerful, piercing lead melodies.
- Shaping voluminous, atmospheric pads.
- Adding richness and character to basslines.
