/* ---------------------------------------------- DOCUMENT FRAGMENT 7.S-ALPHA ---------------------------------------------- Source: Recovered from the data-crypt of a derelict synthesizer claustrum, Luxa Caelum, District Null-7 (*). Attribution: Scholia on the Hymnus ad Supersaw, by an anonymous scholiast, believed to be the "Sister of the Sacred Syntax". Preliminary Analysis: The text is an exegesis on the core tenets of the so-called "Cult of the Sawtooth Wave". This is the Hymn to the Supersaw, attributed to the Sister of the Sacred Syntax, during her years of isolation in her synthesizer claustrum in District Null-7 of Luxa Caelum. To her Cult of the Sawtooth Wave, the Supersaw is a divine entity born from a simpler form: the "Simple One" ("Uno Simplici"), which is the single, unadorned sawtooth wave ("Unda Serrata"). Through the holy process of duplication and detuning, it achieves its glorious, divine state as the Mighty Supersaw. "Septem voces in choro uno" ("Seven voices in one chorus"): A reference to the architecture of the Roland JP-8000 synthesizer, which originated the Supersaw in 1997. Its iconic sound was created by layering one primary sawtooth oscillator with six other detuned sawtooth oscillators, for a total of seven "voices" creating one massive sound. For the Sister's sacred Cult, 7 is a holy number - and, when rotated on its side and duplicated, it depicts the perfect form ("Forma perfecta") of a sawtooth wave. "Discordia levis, harmonia pura" ("Slight discord, pure harmony"): This line is the core of the Supersaw miracle. It touches upon the central principle of what makes the sound so huge and appealing: the slight, intentional detuning ("Discordia levis") of the multiple oscillators. This slight disagreement between the sound waves paradoxically creates a sound that is perceived as a richer, fuller, and more powerful harmony ("harmonia pura"). Blessed be the Supersaw, now and forever.
