Sawteeth

About

Sawteeth is a soft-synth (with tracker) for BeOS and Haiku, meant to either create cool synthsounds to use in cubase and such, or cute chip-tunes. It uses no samples but only generated waveforms.

Originally developed by Jonas and Arvid Norberg and released in 2000, it is now open-sourced under the MIT licence.

Sawteeth generates music files that take very little space and not much CPU time to replay. It is based around base oscillators, filters, envelopes, and clipping. The pattern editor allows you to reuse pieces of melody easily (including transposing them). The instruments and patterns can also be edited in real-time while the music is playing.
