SuperStarSaw is a modern stacked sawtooth synthesizer from Native Instruments, co-created with producer and artist A. G. Cook. It takes the classic technique of layering multiple sawtooth synth parts and brings it into a single, focused instrument designed for fast sound creation and expressive performance.

Instead of building large stacks of individual synthesizers, SuperStarSaw provides the character of layered saw sounds through its dual 8-voice sawtooth oscillator engine. The result is a wide, harmonically rich sound that can move from powerful and euphoric to metallic, tense, and experimental.

Explore Wide and Expressive Sounds

SuperStarSaw is designed around contrast and movement. Its sound engine makes it easy to explore everything from energetic electronic leads and huge chords to unusual harmonies, metallic textures, dramatic glides, and evolving synth performances.

The instrument encourages experimentation rather than keeping you within a narrow tonal range. Sounds can be pushed, reshaped, and transformed while you play, making it a versatile tool for electronic production and sound design.

A Streamlined Stacked Saw Workflow

Traditional stacked saw production often involves several synth instances, multiple tracks, effects, automation, and detailed mixing. SuperStarSaw condenses much of that process into one synthesizer.

Its dual 8-voice sawtooth architecture delivers the dense character associated with layered synth parts while keeping the workflow compact. This makes it easier to sketch ideas, develop patches, and create large electronic sounds without building complicated sessions.

Real-Time Sound Morphing

One of SuperStarSaw's central features is its four-corner Morpher. It provides direct control over dramatic changes in the sound, allowing you to move between different tonal characters and textures while performing.

Rather than relying entirely on automation, you can use the Morpher as a hands-on performance tool. Voice offset and glide controls add additional movement, stereo variation, and expression to sustained chords, leads, and evolving synth parts.

Flexible Harmonic Controls

SuperStarSaw also includes musical tools designed to make harmonic experimentation more accessible. Chord, scale, and quantize functions can help keep performances musically consistent while still leaving room for unusual intervals and unexpected harmonic changes.

With both mono and polyphonic operation, the synthesizer can adapt to a wide range of musical roles, including basses, leads, chords, pads, and layered electronic textures.

Built-In Effects and Sound Shaping

SuperStarSaw includes integrated chorus, delay, reverb, and filtering for shaping sounds directly inside the instrument. These effects can add width, depth, ambience, and tonal character without requiring a large collection of external processing.

The built-in modulation system is designed for quick and musical sound movement, making it easier to create expressive patches without complicated routing.

Designed for Modern Electronic Production

From wide stacked chords and energetic leads to atmospheric pads and experimental textures, SuperStarSaw provides a focused environment for creating expressive electronic sounds.

By combining a multi-voice sawtooth engine, real-time morphing, harmonic controls, modulation, and integrated effects, SuperStarSaw offers a streamlined approach to one of the most recognizable techniques in electronic synthesis.

Whether used for sound design, songwriting, performance, or arrangement, SuperStarSaw is built to help producers explore bigger sounds while keeping the creative workflow simple and immediate.
