This is actually a pretty common technique in the hardstyle genre as far as I know! Digital synths like Gladiator by Tone2 have different versions of noise-modulated supersaws (in gladiator's case it was called spirit mode) and Au5 made a video detailing this technique with more modern soft-synths like serum and vital
7-voice supersaw sounds so nice... 3-voice sounds cool if change detune right 2-voice is something new But in your "My new chiptune Style" fast pwm also sounded like supersaw
That's because inverting one of the two sawtooth waves in a two-voice detuned super saw creates PWM. And what's interesting is that, that's actually why fast PWM can sound out of tune, even when technically the wave never changes pitch. And it gets even weirder when you make fast enough PWM (and at a high enough pitch, so the pitch of the wave itself is almost too high to hear) - the wave can end up sounding like a sawtooth, where how fast the PWM is changes the frequency of this sawtooth. This is sometimes used in music written for the POKEY, (that is, a chip used in the Atari 800 and many other systems) where PWM can be made using the high-pass filter, and, using this trick, a sawtooth. My point is, PWM and sawtooth waves are linked in more ways than one, which I find very cool
@@doopdee In fact it is also possible to do something similar using a pulse wave, if you control the pulse width arbitrarily, you create a similar sound (but without that metalic buzzing sound), better because you only use one voice :D

cool, I created it on a native synthesizer like 3xOsc :)
@@Luse_kororo oh dang I didn't know you could do that in 3xOsc, I'll have to try that! :D

Yeah, i know and i used that trick on 2 songs: "Hard Trance" and "Unreal Emotion"
