Welcome to SuperStarSaw
Presented by A. G. Cook, SuperStarSaw is a highly playable instrument that explores the extremes of stacked sawtooth waves.
Presented by A. G. Cook, SuperStarSaw explores the extremes of stacked sawtooth waves, pushing one of electronic music's most recognizable synth sounds further than it was designed to go. Create huge supersaws, gliding harmonies, blissed-out chords, and controlled chaos from a single playable instrument. Morph between sounds and follow unexpected ideas, without the need for complex layering and automation.
SuperStarSaw is built around contrast. Move from rich harmonies to metallic dissonance, ravey leads to impossible glides, euphoria to tension, all from the same sound source. Born from the challenge of building complex stacked synth sounds, SuperStarSaw turns a time-consuming production technique into a fast, fun, and flexible workflow. Dual sound engines, voice offset, glide controls, and the Morpher make it easy to sketch ideas, reshape them, and keep moving.
