Classic Supersaw Architecture
At the heart of SuperWave P8 is its dual-oscillator engine, featuring the signature SuperWave mode that stacks up to seven oscillators per voice.
This instantly delivers the wide, detuned textures synonymous with late-90s and early-2000s dance music. A solid selection of waveforms including saw, pulse, triangle and noise keeps the sound palette familiar and effective, while sync, detune and octave controls allow quick tonal shaping.
Two resonant 12dB filters provide low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes, giving enough flexibility to sculpt pads, leads and evolving textures while retaining an unmistakably digital-analogue character.
Key follow and cutoff locking make it easy to keep sounds consistent across the keyboard.
Straightforward Modulation and FX
SuperWave P8 keeps modulation clean and accessible. Two LFOs with multiple routing options handle movement duties, offering synced rhythmic modulation or free-running motion.
Four ADSR envelopes cover both filter and amplitude shaping, making it easy to dial in classic plucks, smooth pads or punchy leads.
A simple but effective delay section adds width and depth, while mono and poly modes, portamento and MIDI learn support ensure SuperWave P8 integrates smoothly into modern DAW workflows.
With 64 factory presets included, it’s ready to use straight out of the box.
