This mode should be selected if you require the same manner of use as the original
CS-80.
3.5.1 Two lines of synthesis
The original CS-80 has a particular structure. Unlike many synthesizers of that time it
used 2 independent generators of subtractive synthesis, each one with an oscillator,
a filter and an amplifier. These two lines of synthesis are managed by the central
part of the interface in two parallel groups of controls.
Control of the two lines of synthesis
On each line of synthesis, there is an oscillator that can generate square, triangle,
sawtooth, and sine signals. The first switch activates the square signal, while the
second activates the second waveform, which can be either a triangular signal or
a sawtooth.
