notes
The definitive CS-80 brass pad: two detuned saws plus a square layer, polyphonic aftertouch swelling the cutoff from roughly 600 to 2000 Hz as the player leans into the keys, drenched in Lexicon 224 hall. This engine has no aftertouch input, so a slow sine LFO on cutoff stands in for the pressure-swell, LP12 opening from around 900 Hz with a long, soft amp envelope and a big hall return to recreate that CS-80 wash.
