Saws All vs MidiDeep

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. -Interactive Audio-Worlds- Kick back, close your eyes, and listen to your creation—or dive into our unique, interactive visualizers designed specifically for this app. Play games, watch dance-offs and slug-hunting ant colonies, or launch fireworks. Every world reacts and syncs perfectly to your music's tempo, frequencies, and individual channels. No ads. No subscriptions. All local. All private. Get lost in saws.

MidiDeep is a real-time MIDI processor. It makes no sound of its own: it reshapes what you play before your instruments ever hear it. You build a chain of effects, block by block, and you hear the result straight away. THE BLOCKS Chord — builds a diatonic chord from a single note. Degrees, inversions, sus2, sus4, sixths, sevenths, ninths, and an octave setting per block. Arpeggio — arpeggiates held notes. Six directions, divisions from whole note to 64th, gate, swing, octaves, latch, transpose. Steps — a polyphonic step sequencer, up to sixteen steps. Per step: semitone, length, ratchet, velocity, tie. Delay — synchronised MIDI repeats. Harmonize — parallel voices. Every block runs on its own internal clock or follows the MIDI clock of your sequencer. KEY AND SCALE One tonic and one scale shared by the whole chain. Fourteen scales, from major to diminished by way of the pentatonics and whole tone. Notes outside the scale are pulled to the nearest one, so you never play a wrong note. MULTIPLE TIMELINES Open as many TimeLines as you need — up to four on iPhone and iPad, up to eight windows on Mac. Each one is independent: its own effect chain, its own channel filters, its own clock, its own MIDI ports. Each TimeLine shows up as a separate port in your DAW — Ableton Live, Logic Pro or any other MIDI host. Preferences and presets stay shared across all of them. CONNECTIONS A virtual MIDI port for other apps on your device. USB MIDI interfaces. Network MIDI to your other machines. BLE MIDI. Input channel filtering, output channel remapping, and a matrix that decides, for each destination, what goes out: notes, clock, controllers. MACROS AND PRESETS Four macros, assignable to any parameter and drivable by CC from your controller. One preset per effect, plus patches that recall the entire chain. ONE PURCHASE, ALL YOUR DEVICES MidiDeep is a Universal Purchase: buy it on iPhone or iPad and it's on your Mac too; buy it on Mac and it follows you to iOS.
