Super Serrated vs Harmonitron

Super Serrated is a supersaw synthesizer for iOS and desktop production workflows. Build wide, animated saw textures with an expressive oscillator, resonant filtering, dual envelopes, dual LFOs, modulation routing, MIDI pitch bend, mod wheel, and channel aftertouch support. Super Serrated runs as a standalone app on iOS and macOS or as an AUv3 plugin within compatible DAWs including Garage Band, Logic Pro, Cubasis, Ableton Live, AUM, and Drambo. The synth is built around a clear and simple interface: oscillator, filter, envelopes, LFOs, modulation, and voice controls are always within reach. - Standalone and AUv3 plugin - Supports USB audio interfaces, wired and Bluetooth MIDI - Stereo super saw oscillator with selectable saw count: 1 to 11 saws - Oscillator octave control, detune, stereo width, unison mix, and oscillator level - Sine sub-oscillator - Per-voice white noise - Voice-level polyphony up to 16 voices - Poly, mono, and legato voice modes - Polyphony shared with up to 16 voice unison with extra detune spread - Portamento for glides and legato-style transitions - Velocity and aftertouch - Resonant ladder-style filter with 2 and 4 poles, and bass compensation - Low pass, high pass, and bandpass filter modes - Filter drive, bass boost - Two ADSR envelopes - Two LFOs with sine, triangle, saw, square, and random shapes - Free-running or tempo-synced LFO rates - LFO depth, smoothing, bipolar/unipolar range, and reset-on-note controls - Visual envelope, filter, and LFO feedback in the main UI - Modulation matrix with seven routing slots

Harmonitron is a harmonic tremolo. The rich, swirling amp "vibrato" made famous by early-1960s brownface amplifiers. A normal tremolo just pulses your volume up and down. A harmonic tremolo goes deeper: it splits your sound into a low band and a high band, then sweeps them in OPPOSITE phase. As the lows swell, the highs dip and back again. That contrary motion is what gives Harmonitron its lush, watery, almost phaser-like character that an ordinary tremolo can't reach. Turn the Voice control and the effect morphs smoothly from a classic in-phase tremolo all the way to a full harmonic swirl. Drop it on guitars, keys, synths, pads, drums, or a whole mix. Standalone, or as an Audio Unit (AUv3) effect inside GarageBand, AUM, Logic, and other hosts. THE SOUND • True harmonic tremolo: anti-phase modulation of a low and high band • Voice: morph continuously from classic tremolo to full harmonic swirl • Split & Tilt: place the crossover and balance the two bands • Tube Drive and tone shaping for warmth and grit MOVEMENT • Rate from a slow tide to a fast flutter, shown in BPM • LFO Shape: sine, triangle, square, and ramp with adjustable edge Slope • Tempo Sync that locks to your project and lands on the beat, with musical note divisions from 1/1 to 1/32 (dotted and triplet) • Stereo Spread for auto-pan and rotary-style width HANDS-ON • A living hero orb whose two halves breathe in opposite phase — drag it to set Depth, tap to bypass • Grouped, color-coded controls: Motion, Sync, Harmonic, Stereo, Drive, Output • Factory presets: Brownface, Rotary Swirl, Slow Tide, Sync Chop, Wide Harmonic and more — plus your own saved presets PLUGIN & STANDALONE • Full AUv3 audio-effect support with host presets and parameter automation • Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Standalone mode with a built-in demo pad, live microphone input, or import a song and export the processed result
