Native Instruments announce Super*Saw

Created in collaboration with A. G. Cook

The newest addition to Native Instruments' software collection introduces a new synth created by A. G. Cook, a Grammy-winning British producer best known for his work with Charli XCX. Named Super*Saw - and pronounced Super Star Saw', apparently - the instrument has been built around the stacked sawtooth patches that have defined Cook's signature sound.

The producer's work with the likes of Charli XCX, Beyonc , Caroline Polachek and Oklou has relied heavily on supersaws' - stacks of sawtooth waves that are layered and slightly detuned to create wide, harmonically dense sounds. Over the course of a two-year collaboration, the NI team have crafted the new instrument from Cook's own patches, creating a library of presets that cover blissed-out harmonies, metallic dissonance, ravey leads and impossible glides .

Super*Saw has been built around a pair of independent 16-saw oscillator banks, and features a central Y-Y pad that captures four distinct patch states and allows users to blend seamlessly between them. Per-voice Glide and Offset controls deliver the tonal variations that are central to Cooks sound-design approach, while Chord, Scale and Quantize functions help to keeps things in time and in tune! Onboard effects include a chorus, delay and reverb, and the instrument is also kitted out with a high-pass filter that offers two- and four-pole slope options.

As you might expect, Super*Saw integrates seamlessly with Native Instruments' Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine hardware.
