Native Instruments has officially unveiled Super*Saw, a powerful new software synthesizer developed in collaboration with PC Music founder A.G. Cook. This release marks a significant milestone in digital instrument design, blending professional-grade synthesis with the unique, forward-thinking aesthetic that has defined Cook's influential career.
Developed over a rigorous two-year collaboration, the instrument is built directly from the producer's personal library of patches and refined production workflows. It aims to capture the signature supersaw textures that have become a staple in modern pop and electronic music, particularly those heard in his high-profile work with artists such as Charli xcx, Caroline Polachek, and Oklou.
At the heart of the Super*Saw architecture are two independent 16-saw oscillator banks. These are complemented by an intuitive X/Y morpher, which allows users to seamlessly blend between four distinct patch states, offering a level of dynamic control rarely seen in standard soft-synths. The instrument arrives with an extensive, curated preset library that spans essential leads, basses, stacks, and complex chords, ensuring immediate usability for producers of all levels.
Beyond its sound engine, the synth is designed for deep integration within the Native Instruments ecosystem, offering full compatibility with Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine hardware. This ensures that the tactile experience of sound design remains fluid and responsive, whether in the studio or during live performance.
For those looking to integrate these iconic, high-energy textures into their own productions, Super*Saw represents a bridge between experimental sound design and accessible, professional-grade tools.
