A. G. Cook just turned his signature wall of detuned saws into a playable Native Instruments synth, and that is a pretty wild career flex. Called Super*Saw, spoken as Super Star Saw, the instrument draws from patches Cook built while producing for Charli XCX, Beyoncé, Caroline Polachek, and Oklou.
Inside, dual banks each stack 16 saw oscillators, while a central morph pad blends four saved sound states. Per-voice Glide and Offset controls bring the warped movement Cook favors, and Chord, Scale, and Quantize keep performances locked. Chorus, delay, reverb, and a switchable two-pole or four-pole high-pass filter cover the finishing moves.
Hardware support lands neatly with Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine gear. Windows 10 or newer and macOS 14 onward are supported, with VST3, AU, and AAX formats available. Native Instruments prices Super*Saw at €99.
