I'm glad that you're interested in sawteeth (you are reading the readme you know).
Arvid Norberg developed big parts of the editor.
Most of the filtercode comes from Stefan Hållen
If you find any error in any program or the
manual please let me know, I even care about
faulty grammar/spelling (I don't speak
native English).
I am also interested in cool ideas and really cool
features that you miss in the player or in the editor.

Sawteeth homepage is:
http://www.acc.umu.se/~bedev/software/sawteeth/
I hope that most menu-items, buttons and textfields are self-explaining or explained in the GUI.
Not very intuitive controls I'm afraid. Not too
much mouse support
Click a part to make it 'active'.
On the parts (the sqares) you see three numbers, the first is partnumber, the second is transpose and the last is damping.

a x | glide amp down |
b x | glide amp up |
c x | set amp |
wave -> amplitude -> filter -> boost ->clipping
The filtermodes low-pass(no res) and low-pass are of different type than the others, they use slightly less CPU. To save CPU, use no filter when you don't need to.
Currently there are two clipmodes, hard clip and sinus clip. Try the sinus clip for some WHACKO distortion. Please give me suggestions of more clipmodes.
At the bottom of the window there are sliders that control the lfo's for PWM (only Square) and Vibrato.
00|c-1 @ 2 01|--- @ 0 | | +-- waveform (see below) | +---- relative (bit) +-------- note and octaveBelow the tracker are three textgadgets: lenght, speed and loop. The number in the Speed-textgadget is PAL's per step. The number in the Loop-textgadget is the tracker-position to go when playing reached end. To not loop enter the last position in the tracker.
