VINTAGE SYNTH: Super Saw is presented under the heading beautifully typical Saw sounds of some 80's icons like the Yamaha CS60 and Prophet 5, and the developer's framing is disarmingly plain: together with a decent lowpass filter, these two Saw Layers could be played around with for hours. The two named sources are the substance of the product and each contributes something specific: the Yamaha CS60 is the 1977 Japanese polysynth whose sawtooth has a soft, slightly hollow character and a notably smooth filter, while the Prophet 5 — the Sequential Circuits polysynth that defined 1980s American popular music — has a brighter, more aggressive saw with a distinctive Curtis-filter bite — so layering the two gives the instrument a range from warm and rounded to crisp and cutting that a single-source library could not cover. The title's terminology is worth unpacking for a catalogue, because "super saw" means two different things in common usage and a buyer should know which this is. A supersaw, strictly, is a single oscillator that stacks multiple detuned sawtooth waves into one very thick voice — the technique introduced by the Roland JP-8000 and responsible for trance and big-room leads. This instrument's own description refers to "two Saw Layers" played through a lowpass filter, which indicates two independent saw sources layered rather than one deliberately detuned multi-saw — so a producer wanting the trance supersaw lead should understand that the instrument supplies layerable classic saw waves rather than a purpose-built detuned stack, while a producer wanting vintage analogue poly synth tone is served directly. Its processing is documented: a decent lowpass filter is provided as the primary shaping stage, which is the correct and sufficient control for material of this kind, since the difference between the CS60's and Prophet 5's saws is largely a matter of harmonic content above the cutoff. Its requirement must lead the catalogue entry and is documented emphatically: the FULL Version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher is required in order to use this instrument, and you will be stuck in DEMO MODE if trying to use this instrument in the FREE Kontakt Player — so a buyer without a full Kontakt licence cannot use it. Installation follows the range's route: download the Kontakt Library files from within your account and move the folder to a location of your choice. It is published under the KLANG label and distributed by Plugin Boutique, listed at $6.00 with a 4.7 rating from 9 ratings, and available as part of a VINTAGE SYNTH series of Kontakt instruments — the series framing being worth carrying, since these are individual small libraries rather than one product. It suits synthwave, retro pop, electronic music, film and game scoring, and any production wanting period-accurate analogue saw tones, and the library's value is its specificity: a producer can reach the exact tonal character of two documented 1970s and 1980s instruments rather than a generic "analogue saw" approximation, which is what a small, focused library of this kind is for. #VINTAGESYNTH #SuperSaw #KLANG #Kontakt #FullKontaktRequired #NoKontaktPlayer #YamahaCS60 #Prophet5 #SequentialCircuits #SawLayer #LowpassFilter #AnalogSynth #RetroSynth #Synthwave #RetroPop #FilmScore #GameAudio #ElectronicMusic #MusicProduction #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro #Cubase #Reaper
