The new Virus TI has something that sounds awfully familiar...

"HyperSaw™. This taps up to 9 parallel sawtooth oscillators (plus 9 
optional subs) for colossal classic layers. The number of voices can 
be changed smoothly in realtime. Surprisingly, HyperSaw doesn't 
require additional power or reduce your polyphony! With 9 main plus 
subs per voice, the VIRUS TI can play over 1800 oscillators in 
realtime! Now imagine Access' award winning filters, including 
MiniMoog cascade emulation, on raw, pulsating WaveTables or insanely 
fat HyperSaws. With these new features, the Virus has never sounded 
better! 

Supersaw... hypersaw...?

My thoughts too. Nothing wrong with that. Seems also that Access took 
the usb-connection idea from Waldorf. Waldorf actually first came up 
with hardware vst-effect; Afb filterbank. They (waldorf) also had 
some brochures that time, where there was some pictures of new 
waldorf synths (that obiviously would have had the same shocking idea 
of hardware-vst connection). Maybe some of the waldorf staff went to 
work with access. If it's this way, it's really a pitty, since 
waldorf had the idea of hardware-vst synth so close to come up true.

The Roland JP8000 had a "super saw" oscillator when it was released
way back in 1995-ish.
