Ripsaw
A stereo super oscillator with 4 independent voices, each comprising 7 detunable waveforms, offering individual pitch control per voice and waveform morphing from sawtooth to square.1097
Capabilities 2
- Oscillatoroscillator
- Ripsaw implements a 4-voice paraphonic super-oscillator, each voice containing 7 detunable waveforms morphable between sawtooth and square.1097
- Super Sawsuper-saw
- Each voice contains 7 oscillators detuned using curves from a classic 1990s supersaw synthesizer, spread across the stereo field.1097
Jacks 9 (7 in / 2 out)
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (7) | |||
| Shape CV | cv | -5V to 5V | Offsets the Shape knob position; expects voltages between -5V and +5V.1097 |
| Shift CV | cv | -5V to 5V | 1097 |
| Spread CV | cv | -5V to 5V | Offsets the Spread knob position; expects voltages between -5V and +5V.1097 |
| v/o1 | cv | -5V to 7V | Pitch CV input for voice 1; controls the pitch of its 7 detunable waveforms. Voice 1 is always active even with no cable patched.1097 |
| v/o2 | cv | -5V to 7V | Pitch CV input for voice 2; plugging in a cable activates voice 2.1097 |
| v/o3 | cv | -5V to 7V | Pitch CV input for voice 3; plugging in a cable activates voice 3.1097 |
| v/o4 | cv | -5V to 7V | Pitch CV input for voice 4; plugging in a cable activates voice 4.1097 |
| Outputs (2) | |||
| Out L | audio | — | Left stereo audio output; all voices' waveforms are spread across the stereo field. Can be used alone for mono operation.1097 |
| Out R | audio | — | Right stereo audio output; all voices' waveforms are spread across the stereo field.1097 |
Parameters 5
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encoder | knob | — | Turning changes the root pitch of all 4 voices in semitone steps; the note is shown on the LED display.1097 |
| Encoder Fine Tune | menu_setting | 0cent – 99cent | Accessible via encoder short press; sets the root pitch fine tuning offset in cents from 0 to 99, useful for matching other gear that deviates from precise 1V/oct.1097 |
| Shape Knob | knob | — | Morphs the waveform of all oscillators between sawtooth and square waves.1097 |
| Shift Knob | knob | — | Raises the pitch of a hard-sync oscillator paired to each of the 28 audible oscillators, introducing additional harmonics beyond the classic supersaw/supersquare sound.1097 |
| Spread Knob | knob | — | Detunes all 7 oscillators of each voice away from their current pitch using offset curves derived from a classic 1990s supersaw synthesizer.1097 |
