Recreating Supersaw with A1 HELP

Post by tek303 »

Hi to all forum members.

Anyone can show me general settings to recreate a similar Supersaw sound with A1. How many slots to use ? Detune/pan/unison/lfo/fx settings or anything else ? I tried by myself but ... no way to get a decent fat sound.

tnx in advance

cheers

Use sawtooth and the set oscillator config to shape and then use LFO to sweep shape between normal sawtooth and double sawtooth. Then fatten this up by adding Unison. If you want even fatter copy this to a new slot and adjust LFO-speed and osc ctrl on the second slot for even more width. Pan slots right and left.

I know this is a Nord forum, but I felt the comparison above was rather unfair towards the Blofeld. Here's my attempt (3 sawtooth oscs, detuned, panned left, middle, right, with voice doubling (Unisono Dual in Blofeld parlance), no (internal or external) chorus, reverb or echo).

Marlowes, I sense that you are developing affection for your NL4...?

Hej Pablo!

No! The NLA1 sounds much, much better to me. I only use the NL4 as a bad example. 8-)
And since I own one I can be credible in my opinion.

I always keep the external 19"multieffectprocessor connected. The internal FXs are :thumbdown: ... compared to the NLA1.

'Nuff said!

But Roland likes it! :thumbup:
