Hi Everyone!

This is Chris. Thanks for taking the time to try the synth and compose something! These submissions are awesome. I knew the synth was special but hearing what you guys have done with it has convinced me that a true, big analog sound has been captured. I hope you all enjoy using it. Thanks again for trying it out! Tell your friends!

And do try Selig Audio stuff - his work is amazing. Thanks for the plug man...
Definitely a power house full of classical saw wave configuration. Glad you are enjoying our submissions!

Hello Everyone,



This is my entry for the Saw-1 Discovery Challenge. All the sounds - including reverb, distortion, and delay effects, were made by the SAW-1 synth! I also used reason's internal compression, echo, tempo automation, and then some processing with ozone elements.

The Saw-1 is so dense but clear! I love how the hpf/lfp gives a harmonically different timbre too.

And all the tracks posted here are so inspiring and helpful in learning how to use reason in different ways. Thank you for the challenge too! :re: :reason:

Only used SAW-1 Discovery in the song for the sounds.

Really cool synth Chris! Good job :D

I enjoyed working with this synth!
All sounds including drums from 13 instances of SAW-1.

I like the diversity of the songs from the other participants!

I hope a link to Metapop is okay. I'm not sure if it's possible to embed it. I'll make the effort to re-upload to Soundcloud if need be.

The Synths are SAW-1s.
The drums are one of the abstract Redrum kits.

An entry for the heck of it. An uncomfortable waltz of sorts. 8 SAW (as far as I could push my cpu) a dual arp and a few native FX on the bus.

Had to drop the beat, as I had used drum sounds outside the Reason Factory Bank. :roll:

My entry! I like this synth!
I also misread the rules and used non factory drum stuff, so I guess that disqualifies my entry. No time to fix this today. :oops:

I missed to finish and to submit my song but it was fun to mess around with your Synthesizer, Chris.
