I reckon we should try and get the source and turn it into a midi synth...

I agree it is a great app for tones. You can do some really nice stuff. Sadly I only know due to the demo's as I have yet to figure out how to make anything in over a year. But if I could find the one thing I'm missing to make it make sense I know I could use that "nintendo" sound well & your le_tigre's comment about it making you focus on other aspects is totaly true. I'm a studio engineer but I have found crappy sony mic's from the 70's that can give a certain acoustic guitar a perfect tone for what I'm after - some times crappy or unlikly gear will rbing out what your after. Music should Be ART & not flashy entertainment so remember that the next time you want a $10,000 Senhieser for vocals... heh

i don't like tracker programs at all, and i've never really understood the weird subset of musicians who swear by them. i'll take sequitur or dBe any day. sawteeth, however, has stolen more of my free time than any tracker program deserves, mainly because it's a softsynth with a tracker UI, rather than your average sample-playback timeline.
this is the little prog that could. the barebones interface allows you to focus on the important stuff, sound and melody creation, and you'll find yourself writing things you'd never considered pretty quickly. used on its own, your timbral variety will be limited to the 8-bit/gameboy aesthetic, but there's surprising depth in this, and the perceived "limits" may encourage you to write your music more deliberately and critically. it helps that i'm really retarded for that old _metroid_ sound =) but listen to the demos, the possibilities might surprise you...
i'm really, really glad i found this. thank you, jonas, arvid and stefan!

The sounds you can get from this would give any analog synth a run for its money. The control and complexity are incredible...there is a lot here.
The interface is *hard* to get used to for those used to a GUI, but the results are worth all the effort. Some of the sample songs really give you an idea of what is possible. I imagine that the AIFF export from this program could make it pair up with another sequencer fairly well, so you could make the synth products of Sawteeth part of a larger whole.
