Sawer is a vintage-inspired synthesizer that delivers clear, punchy sounds designed to stand out in any mix. It draws inspiration from the unique sonic character of the 1980s Polivoks analog synthesizer, known for its distinct envelopes and filters. Sawer captures that raw energy while offering the precision and stability of modern digital synthesis.

This instrument pays tribute to the quirks of its analog predecessor by incorporating subtle imperfections through clever programming choices. The developer discovered that intentional coding variations added warmth and an authentic texture that enhances the sound’s richness. By combining classic subtractive synthesis elements with innovative modulation techniques, Sawer achieves a balance between vintage charm and contemporary reliability.

Featuring a main sawtooth oscillator with sync capabilities, a sub oscillator with detailed control over pitch and phase, and a noise oscillator, Sawer offers a wide sonic palette. Its flexible polyphony and unison modes provide lush layering options, supported by multiple filter types and onboard effects such as chorus, phaser, delay, and reverb. Additional tools like an arpeggiator and assignable modulation envelopes make it a powerful instrument for crafting dynamic and expressive sounds.
