effects

notes
Claws pushes the supersaw idea to a hyperpop extreme: 16 unison saws per oscillator at 40-cent detune, then OTT-style multiband compression squashes almost all dynamic movement out of it. On this engine: max 7-voice unison at full 40-cent detune plus a sub square, filter left almost fully open near 4.5 kHz, and post crush/limiting standing in for the OTT flattening.
