Correction at 20:45. After more experimenting, I now think that the Exponential/Concave Curve I was hearing on the Attack of the Blade Runner Patch is coming from Aftertouch and not the Attack Curve. I think the Attack Curve is Logarithmic/Convex, as is typical on most synthesizers. I currently think setting the Filter Attack curve to Log 40 and the Amp Attack to Log 25 is the closest to the CS-80, but I would love for someone to point me to a more objective report about these curves.

At 18:05, I say that the CS-80 has two complete, single oscillator synthesizers... and that is not correct. It has two complete synthesizers, but they have more than one oscillator, although those oscillators cannot be detuned within the layer. The point I was trying to make was that the CS-80 is unusual because most synthesizers have two or three oscillators which can be detuned, octave adjusted, and volume mixed before going into the filter/s and amplifier. The CS-80 actually has three oscillators in both layers (saw, square/pulse, and sine) and these three can all in fact be activated at the same time (which is unusual), but they cannot be tuned by octave or detuned independently. The sine wave is added after the filters, and its volume can be adjusted separately from the saw/pulse waves. In most analog synthesizers, we tune and detune the two or three oscillators before they go into the filter/s and amp, but with the CS-80, any detuning needs to be done between the two separate internal synthesizers.

For HydraSynth users: I use the Steiner-Parker filter, just a hint of Flanger, and a single saw Oscillator on both layers.

After questions, here are some details about how I record: I record my audio into a version of a DAW called Cubase. I record the video with a FujiFilm X-H1 camera. I then combine the audio and video recordings together in iMovie on a Mac. I use the analog to digital converter in the Yamaha Montage by running my mixer into the Audio In of the Montage, which is connected to Cubase/Mac via usb.
