Cinematique Instruments has released Sägezahn, a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
It´s simple! Sägezahn is the German term for saw (sawtooth) – a certain type of signal generator wave, especially used in older times when synthesizers used subtractive synthesis, which is a simple acoustic model that works with a simple signal generator followed by filter, envelopes and LFOs. Saegezahn contains an assortment of sounds which were made by using the nasty sawtooth generator/ oscillators and filters of the Korg MS20, Roland JX-3P, Ensoniq ESQ-1 and Electro Harmonix Microsynth. Be assured Sägezahn is suitable for almost every music genre, even film-scores.
We sampled all mentioned machines and processed and edited the sounds enriched by filter works. You also get scriptings for each instrument providing loads of variations such as length of decay (perfect for arpeggiator), filter (LP+HP), cabinet simulation, reverb amount and arpeggiator. An absolute highlight is the multi patch of 7 different sounds delivering a monster Sägezahn sound!Kontakt 3 or higher is required.
