Verbos Electronics has recently released a video about its Sawtooth Stack, a fully standalone synth voice with a MIDI connection. Watch the video above to find out more about the synth's development and to hear some sound demos!

The module is rooted in a patch developed by Barry Schrader at CalArts in the 1970s, which used five Buchla oscillators to create dense, shifting textures. By turning this concept into a "macro module," Mark Verbos simplifies what used to be a technical nightmare of tuning and cables into a single, performance-ready interface. Beyond just aggressive "super saw" leads, the stack is designed for everything from haunting drones to metallic, inharmonic percussion. It essentially puts a complex, 11-module patch behind one panel, making it stable enough for live improvisation while keeping the organic drift of analog oscillators.
