The Super*Saw by Native Instruments

Native Instruments Super*Saw is a modern software synthesizer focused on the iconic supersaw sound, created in collaboration with producer A. G. Cook. It expands the classic stacked sawtooth approach with advanced oscillator control, allowing producers to create huge, wide, harmonically rich leads, pads, basses, and experimental textures. The instrument features two independent 16-saw oscillator banks, a morphing system for blending sound states, and extensive modulation options for detailed sound design. Super*Saw is designed for electronic music, hyperpop, trance, pop, EDM, and cinematic production workflows.
