Sawer is a vintage modeling synthesizer, that cuts through the mix to deliver precisely articulated and punchy sounds.

Sawer pays homage to the envelopes and filters of a rare 1980’s Soviet analog synthesizer, Polivoks. Maxx has devoted meticulous attention to the detail of Sawer’s filter and envelope designs, ensuring Sawer delivers a unique sonic character reminiscent of the Polivoks hardware. But Polivoks, like all analog synthesizers, wasn’t without its problems. Keeping the oscillators stable and in tune has been likened to ‘moving a pile of live frogs, by wheelbarrow’, impossible! As Sawer is algorithmic, this solves the problems of tuning and stability, however, in the same way electrical component instability makes analog gear unique (if not cranky), Sawer benefits from the 21st century equivalent, a coding error.

Features
* Main oscillator for subtractive synthesis: SAW shape with Sync frequency.
* Sub oscillator (-2 to +2 octaves) with level, phase & detune controls.
* 1 NOISE Oscillator.
* Variable polyphony (1 to 24 voices).
* SYNC & RING frequency modulation.
* 8 voice UNISON with user-adjustable stereo panning, detune and ‘Octaver’.
* 2 ADSR envelope generators (one user-assignable to modulation parameters).
* 4 FILTER modes - low pass (24 & 12 dB/Oct), band pass and high pass.
* Chorus, Phaser, Delay & Reverb effects
* Muti-mode Arpeggiator.

DirectWave, a powerful sampler by the creator of the famous FL studio. Enjoy this release by group UNION.

Description:
DirectWave is an inline multi-layer multi-timbral sampler, capable of playing and recording samples through real input sampling. All parameters and effects may be automated or modulated through a 16-slot modulation matrix.

Features:

• 16 part multi-timbral, 32-bit VSTi sampler - 128 Voice Polyphony - 128 programs
• Unlimited zones per program. - All samplerates supported.
• Realtime SINC-64 point interpolation (HQ Audiophile).
• Poly, Mono, Legato operation, with glide / auto mode. - 2*24 dB 5 mode filters serial or parallel.
• Flexible 16 slot freely assignable Modulation Matrix.
• 2 mod. ADSR envelopes, 2 zone-independent mod. LFOs 2 global program mod. LFOs.
• Automatable loop points, reverse loop points supported.
• Loop modes: fwd, one-shot, sustained, bounce looping.
• Automatable sample start offset (available as mod. destination parameters, as well as the loop points).
• Built-in voice Insert FX with independent settings for each zone: ring mod. samplerate decimator, bitcrusher, phaser. All of them available as destination parameters in the mod. matrix.
• Built-in send effects: chorus, reverb, delay (with filtered feedback, sync to host tempo).
• Independent send amounts per zone. - Freely assignable 16 stereo outputs.
• Multi-editor with channel list, mixer, expression, modulation and pitchbend GUI controls.
• Built-in sample editor with destructive editing (cut / copy / paste / trim functions), loop finding tool, normalize, vertical / horizontal zooming, etc).
• Realtime sampling / recording of whatever is connected to DirectWave inputs (needs modular host or host with assignable plug-in routing).
• Record Threshold: sampling input will wait until signal peak arises (-40dB).
• Built-in VSTi host to easily automate “sampling” of your vst instruments directly into DirectWave.
• Total Recall operation mode: DirectWave will enclose all the required sample data in the project files created by your host: it creates totally portable projects without worrying about needed sample files.
• Import: DWP (proprietary), WAV (any), SF2 (Soundfont), AKP (Akai), Propellerheads Recycle, Native Instruments Battery, Kontakt *(nki), GIGA *(gig).
• Several importing methods: built-in browsing, drag&drop, menu options.
• Built-in fast library browser list and tree-arranged menu program selector.
• Zone editor with visual zone arrangement map and list with all zone properties.
• All program/zone parameters of all channels can be automated as VST parameters.
