Really?
imo yeh. Years ago I went on a majestic quest for the hypersaw, pretty much tried every synth. Came to the conclusion that you need an access Virus or nexus(sampled virus). Most synth filters just dont have the right resonant characterisics. Anyway I just thought that suprawave sounded bad.

You can say 'I'm talking out of my arse' but I did research it quite a bit. I even built my own 'hypersaw' monster synth.

That's my attempt at a hypersaw: What differs it from other synths is I had routed the 16 oscs (within 1 main osc) to 4 random lfo's accross the stereo field.

That's the synth i made:

But I dont know enough to improve the resonant characteristics of the factory filters.

Ha i just loaded it and i did get a massive trance lead sound but it takes like 60 cpu. I should have just made a 2osc version and load up the voices in reakto and put a random lfo to the unison spread.

I might rejig it for dubstep cos it was actually not that bad. I've got like zillions of waveforms from rapture which i put some into 2 waveroms.

Hypersaws??? :o I thought we were talking about supersaws! I guess I haven't heard enough legit supersaws to say p8 is shit but I understand what you're talking about. I haven't really used that part of p8 much tbh. It's been my 'go-to simple synth' when I want to just play around.

And that synth....

Yeah, i clearly understand now.
I just really wanted to know if their was another plug-in.
I'm starting to use Massive more since my last post.
Thanks for all inputs and arguments.

you can create wonders with just reverb and delay for ambience...experiment with fx order, like reverb, delay, reverb or any other way around. you can lowpass a fart through an fx chain like that and it would sound nice.

This entirely.

Chord or octave a bunch of simple waveforms, put through plate verb at 100% wet, filter, delay, filter the delays, resample it, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample, reverse it, reverb it again at 100%, filter, delay, filter the delay, resample...

Load as audio clip.

Sidechain to explosion sample.

Done.

Thanks.
lol.

sub-bass - sine waves. Any synth will do this well.

Atmospheric sounds - saw/square/pulse waves, low-passed, heavy reverb. Resample reverb, pitch up, take a small slice, repeat it continuously, add saturation, more reverb.etc....

I love sampling for atmosphere. You get really interesting sounds.
