Saga Synth by AudioKit Giveaway (Closed Winners have been Notified)
I posted this quick loop the other day using some of the presets I designed. Now I have a few codes to giveaway.
Let's help each other out. It really does not cost anything to subscribe, watch a video, like a video and share a video. I have been on a semi break from YouTube since 2020. I have found my groove again and hope to post videos more often.
My offer is to help boost my views since I was away for so long. if we can get my Saga Synth Loopy video posted below. As of right now it is at 250 views. if we can get it to 1k+ in the next few days I will do a drawing, say Jan 8th ish, from the comments in this post and on youtube. I have 3 codes up for grabs.
Thanks for all the fish.

Bump for giveaway.
Welcome back Mitch!
Thanks @Gavinski Great job on your channel.
Cheers buddy!
Great sounding synth, entering giveaway!
@Sylaar it is and you are entered
i bought it and it really is cool one, the only thing i wish it had was the NES super mario bro sounds, well i probably have to doble check again but i think i did check them all the sound and i couldn’t find one that reminds me of the Super Mario bro games, specially the level 8-4 king koopa castle , and super mario 3 world 8 tank 1 and 2 levels, i really like the sounds of those levels, which i played thousands times those game when i was a kid, which are nostalgic to me, anyway it still a great AudioKit Rompler
@SLPGroundSoundMusic ill have to go back and listen to that level. I wonder if there is some sound design things that can get close?
@SLPGroundSoundMusic See if this is what you were after. made 2 new presets for this.
lol yes that is the king koopa last level theme song 👍🏼 but the sound selection wasn’t the one, even though that was close to the ideal sound but it wasn’t the one, but anyway great job bro i like it 🤘🏼
It's based on Sega sounds though, not Nintendo! Maybe that'll be the next AudioKit rompler? 😂
Great demo. And as you successfully lured me onto your channel I found that lovely
Lofi track you posted a while back :-)
Squaresynth 2 is the closest to NES we have at the moment
The ‘magic’ of the NES sounds is all about controlling the chip as it’s fairly basic with just a Triangle-Wave (4-bit with no level control, just gate on/off) and pulse waves with 12.5%, 25%, 50% and 75% with limited control over level and 2 pitched noise variants.
Most NES kick-drums are just the triangle wave with a pitch-sweep, the sweep is ‘stepped’ since the registers are updated at fixed intervals commonly at the frame-rate of the system (on 50hz PAL that’s 20ms/frame). Snares are a mixture of square and noise with switching between ‘waveforms’ or ‘frequency’ happening at frame-rate.
For more advanced ‘sound desgn’ the values could be changed multiple times per frame but that was seldom done as it would eat too much CPU which needed to be reserved for the game…
The Sega systems used FM (4OP) but again it could do more than a ‘regular’ FM synths since the programmers could ‘abuse’ the chip a bit more than what is possible on regular FM synths. One common ‘trick’ was to use value-tables (ie. ‘Step Sequencers’ in synthesis terms) to change the all or selected chip values each frame).
Sorry for geeking out…
Great synth, kudos to Audiokit team and welcome back.
@Samu Never apologize for geeking out dude. You can get some decent NES sounds from Poison-202 as well.
@Gavinski I 2nd a Nintendo Rompler or maybe a add-on set for SAGA Synth.
Yepp, and it's easy to go into 'crazy town' by enable both sync and ring-modulation and messing with the pitch-envelopes for a load of crazy sound effects used in video games
(It does basic 2OP FM too).
Needless to say but Poison-202 is one of my absolute favorite iOS synths of all time!
Thanks for this educational post. So fun to think about what went into the sounds of my youth.
Yeah! Enjoy one of the 'Old School Masters' at work from the early era.
It's the complete MegaDrive Time Trax soundtrack by Tim Follin.
That is how one 'abuses' a 4OP FM Synth when it's fully programmable
@Samu That is pretty sweet.
This is great.
Anyone else love just staring at these waveforms or am I sick?
lol yes i knew that from watching the promo videos, but i was hoping for it to have those type of sounds too, and if that was the case they could've call it the Sagatendo Synth 😂
Thanks for the boost in views and all the kind words. I will draw some name for 4 codes to SAGA and send them out.
