Steps

  1. Add Sawer to a Channel

    From the Channel Rack, click the '+' icon and select 'Sawer' under the 'Generators' section. This will open the Sawer interface.

  2. Select Oscillator Waves and Sub-Oscillator

    In the main oscillator section, choose between Saw, Square, Tri, and Sine waveforms. Activate and adjust the 'Sub-OSC' level to add thickness to your sound.

  3. Shape Sound with the Filter Section

    Utilize the 'Cutoff' and 'Resonance' knobs in the 'Filter' section. Experiment with the filter types (LP, BP, HP) and use the 'Env Amt' knob to apply envelope modulation to the cutoff.

  4. Explore the Arpeggiator

    Activate the 'ARP' section to create rhythmic melodic patterns. Adjust the 'Rate,' 'Range,' and 'Gate' controls to define the arpeggiator's behavior and movement.

  5. Add Effects

    Click the 'FX' tab to access Sawer's built-in effects. Enable and tweak the 'Chorus,' 'Delay,' and 'Reverb' modules to add space and dimension to your patch.
