3.3 OVERVIEW OF SINGLE MODE (CS-80)
The single mode contains 62 synthesis parameters, which will allow you to create a
nearly infinite variety of sounds. The controllers associated with these parameters are
found regrouped in 2 rows just under the Multi hatch.
Each of these 2 rows is composed of:
1 oscillator (VCO), which provides the base audio signal with its 3 waveforms: square,
saw-tooth and triangle. Also, this section allows control of the pitch of the oscillator
(the frequency) and the impulse width of the waveforms.
1 low frequency oscillator («Sub oscillator») used to modulate the impulse width.
A high-pass resonant filter, tied to the 12 dB/24 dB cutoff selector
A low-pass resonant filter, tied to the 12 dB/24 dB cutoff selector
An ADR envelope that modulates the high-pass and low-pass filters
1 amplifier (VCA) allowing the amplification of the signal coming from the filter to
direct it to the stereo output.
An ADSR envelope modulates the signal going through the amplifier.
Velocity and after touch settings on volume (VCA) and brilliance (VCF).
The synthesis parameters
A series of 24 buttons of factory presets will give you base examples for the programming of synthesis
parameters. These presets are found on the control panel. They offer the presets of the original CS-80.
Synthesis line presets
Let’s see how to quickly create a polyphonic sound that evolves through time:
To really understand the programming of the CS-80V, let’s take a very simple sound.
Select the preset «1_voice» (in the «User / Temp» sub bank). The structure of this
sound is very basic: the oscillator1 saw tooth waveform is active and the signal is
directed through the low-pass filter (the high-pass filter is deactivated), and then the
output amplifier.
