SoundSaw is a powerful sound processing application designed to transform musical instruments and vocals with a broad range of distortion effects. Its intuitive interface allows users to explore sonic textures inspired by noise, lo-fi, chiptune, and experimental music. Whether adding subtle saturation for warmth or radically altering the sound into harsh, harmonic-rich textures filled with crackles and rattles, SoundSaw offers extensive creative potential for sound alteration and destruction.

The app features a streamlined layout where all controls are conveniently arranged on a single screen and grouped into six sections that guide the signal flow from input to output. This design ensures that users can easily experiment with various effects, including harmonic saturation, dynamic noise, digital artifacts from decimation and bitcrushing, and resonant feedback. Additional tools such as a 4-pole filter controlled by an envelope generator enable precise shaping of sound, adding depth and character to the processed signal.

SoundSaw is compatible with both iOS and macOS platforms, supporting iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices, including those with M1 chips and later. It operates as a standalone app or integrates seamlessly with popular DAWs through Audio Unit (AUv3), Inter-App Audio, Audiobus, and Ableton Link. MIDI support with learn functionality and detailed parameter descriptions enhance user control, making SoundSaw a comprehensive tool for musicians and producers looking to infuse their audio with distinctive experimental effects.
