ARTURIA – CS-80V – USER’S MA NUA L 7 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 T HE BIRTH OF THE Y AMAHA CS-80 Yamaha was created at the end of the 19 th century, in Hamamatsu, Japan. The first electronic instrument, the Electone D-1 electronic organ, was designed and built in 1959. But the history of the CS-80 began when, in 1974, the GX-1 was released. The GX-1 T[...]

ARTURIA – CS-80V – USER’S MA NUA L 51  The square possesses a more «hollow» sound that the saw tooth (it only contai ns odd harmonics) but none the less, its rich sound (notably in low frequencies) can be used for sub- bass sounds that will come ou t well in the mix (t he square oscillator is often set an octave below that of the saw t o[...]

ARTURIA – CS-80V – USER’S MA NUA L 52  The sinusoid is the purest of all. It is a un ique harmonic and produced a very «damped» sound. It can be used to reinfo rce the low frequencies of a bass sound or as a frequency modulator in order to create harmonics that don’t ex ist in the original waveforms. PWM ( P ulse W idth M odulation) is[...]

ARTURIA – CS-80V – USER’S MA NUA L 53 In the above image, oscillator2 is synchronized with the first and tuned to with double the tonality.
