So i have been having a lot of trouble having an over detuned saw but if i were to go to use serum and make on i have no issues making a really clean one, does anyone have advice or a way of accomplishing this?

The problem with super saws is that the oscillators of AT synths are locked in phase, so as their periods converge, you'll get a dirty "flanging" effect. You can get rid of this effect and achieve a smoother and pretty powerful super saw using the Heisenberg like this: Set operators A, B and C to a sawtooth wave and operator D to a square wave. Set the offset of operators A and C to 1 and -1 respectively. Leave B at 0. This creates the detuned, thick sound. Set the ratio of the square wave (operator D) all the way down to --,----. Now set different amounts of modulation for the operators A, B and C by operator D (the first three values in the fourth column in the "PHASE MODULATION" matrix). Any values will work, but they must be different and wide-ranging. This will offset the phase of each of your sawtooth operators and "clean" the sound. It's not perfect, but it is better than the results from the "Unison" mode.
Dude thank you. That's really fucking smart of you man i appreciate it so much.
Also whats the maximum notes that can be played at once for pulv and heisen?
I think you should just use Ranvik's or my template (I used Ranvik's to make mine). Both of them use the same good clean sound you are asking for. You could also learn how to make your own using the other synths.
Glad it helped. As far as I know, in the Pulverisateur, in polyphonic mode, the maximum polyphony is 8 voices with last note priority. In the Heisenberg, in polyphonic mode, the maximum polyphony is 16 divided by the number of unison voices, with last note priority.
