#### hypersaw - opinions

while building my synth I may have discovered a possibility to build a hypersaw oscillator out of just one saw oscillator.
listen to the 3-voice hypersaw and give me your opinion.
Do you think this sounds properly?
first one raw saw wave, then I blend in the two hyper_saws resulting in one 3voice saw.
at the dsp-cost of only a bit more than one oscillator.

hi
sounds ok to me
whats the trick ? also possible in mod ? how ?

for sure it should be possible with mod too.
I ve not yet learned how to do modular modules,
shouldn`t be to difficult but I filled up with other projects right now. (maybe shroomz?)
the trick for the hypersaw is to use an lfo to pitch modulated the saw, depending on the delay time the saws are differently pitched.
If you carefully setup the lfo modulation amount and the lfo speed, you get the supersaw.
the logic is like following,
when saw2 is stable at y ms,
saw1 and saw2 are unstable
when saw1 is stable at x ms,
saw2 and saw3 are unstable
and so on......
up to 8 voice supersaw is possible with one multitab delay.
i don`t know if an lfo takes the same amount of dsp as a saw oscillator, but at least with more than 2-voice hyper saw it makes sense dsp wise, if an lfo is less dsp-hungry than an oscillator.
