Native Instruments introduced Super*Saw, a software synth created with British producer and PC Music founder A. G. Cook, Attack Magazine reported. The plug‑in draws on Cook’s production methods used for artists such as Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Beyoncé and Oklou.
Development took about two years, with NI’s engineers working from Cook’s own sound libraries and session files. The goal, per the announcement, is to fold multi‑synth setups, detailed automation and complex routing into one instrument.
Super*Saw houses two separate oscillator sections, each capable of producing up to 16 sawtooth waves, enabling classic supersaw textures linked to trance, rave, hyperpop and modern electronic pop. A four‑corner X/Y Morpher lets users save four patch positions and glide between them, while chord, scale and quantisation tools help keep notes in key.
The UI groups oscillator, morphing, modulation and effects controls, a layout co‑designed with visual artist Simon Whybray, Cook’s longtime collaborator. The plug‑in ships with presets covering pads, leads, basses and more, works in both monophonic and polyphonic modes, and ties into Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine gear. Built‑in chorus, delay, reverb and multi‑mode filters round out the sound engine. Pricing is $99 or €99, and the product is available now.
