Super*Saw

Sawtooth stacks by A. G. Cook

What is Super*Saw? (pronounced: SuperStarSaw)

Super*Saw is a synthesizer co-created with A. G. Cook – the producer behind multiple global hits with credits including Jónsi, Caroline Polachek, Oklou, and Charli XCX. It’s designed around stacked sawtooth waves – a technique used to create wide, dense, harmonically rich sounds often built through multiple layers. Super*Saw condenses this into a single instrument with real-time control and expressive morphing. Instead of manually constructing complex stacks, users can shape movement directly through performance tools for fast transitions between harmony, tension, and tonal variation.

Presented by A. G. Cook, artist, producer, and founder of PC Music, Super*Saw explores the extremes of stacked sawtooth waves in one playable synth. Create everything from blissed-out harmonies and metallic dissonance to ravey leads and impossible glides, without endless layering. Built on contrast, Super*Saw can move from euphoria to tension, precision to chaos, and clarity to overload, all from a single interface. The Morpher transforms simple gestures into evolving sounds, for ideas that unfold as you play. Wild when you need it, musical when you want it, it's designed for deep experimentation – helping new ideas arrive faster and go further.

Features

• Dual 8-voice sawtooth oscillator system for sound generation
• 4-corner Morpher for real-time transitions between sound states
• Musical quantize, chord, and scale tools for harmonic movement
• Voice offset and glide controls for motion and stereo depth
• Built-in FX (chorus, delay, reverb) for immediate mix-ready sound
• Flexible mono/poly modes for leads, bass, stacks, and chords
• Modulation system designed for fast, musical results

Key user benefits

Fast stacked sound design

• Replace multi-layer workflows with a single instrument designed for immediate dense harmonics and movement.

Expressive performance control

• The Morpher and voice behaviour tools allow real-time shaping of sound without traditional automation-heavy setups.

Musical exploration without complexity

• Chord, scale, and quantize tools help keep harmonic exploration usable while still allowing variation and edge.

Mix-ready output

• Integrated FX and filtering help sounds sit in context quickly without extensive external processing.
