SUPER-7 MANUAL
PRODUCT DETAILS
Get the infamous Supersaw sound with this special gift to the 7th years anniver-
sary of CFA-Sound – the free SUPER-7 vst synthesizer!
Everyone who produces electronic music knows the infamous Supersaw of the
Roland JP8000/8080, and even it`s a relatively old synthesizer this specific wa-
veform or better sayed oscillator mode is still heavy in use and wanted. Also for
myself, but more in terms of discovering how it works and how to emulate it. Du-
ring the last year, i worked on a small emulation of it as little side project for fun &
learning primary, and well here it is, the final result. Surely in some specific areas
not 100% like original but very close based on the comparision to the real one and
the specs. All packed into a slim synthesizer shell with an easy-to-use interface,
decent on CPU usage and most of all – it`s for free.

FEATURES / FILTER
The filter section contains a analog styled 4-pole lowpass filter with it`s own filter
envelope. FREQ controls the cutoff frequency and RESO the resonance amount.
With ENV MOD you can control the modulation intensity of the filter envelope,
which consist of ATT (Attack) and DEC (Decay) only. With the SHAPE control you
can define the shape or curving of the envelope itself, from falling up to raising.

FEATURES / ENVELOPES
The amp envelope controls the envelope of the output signal, and offers same
as the filter envelope the option to define the shape/curving of the envelope from
falling up to raising, for more slow raising pad sounds of short percussion pluck
sounds.

FEATURES / GLOBAL CONTROLS & PRESET MANAGEMENT
On the right top corner of the SUPER-7 you have access to the preset browser.
Here you can step through the presets by using „Prev“ & „Next“. By clicking on the
4-line symbol the preset list will show up. You can also rename presets with right-
mouse-click on the preset name. The button „Patch“ opens the menu for loading
and saving single presets and preset-bank.
The Amp section gives you access to the panning control (PAN) and the output
volume control (LEVEL).
The QUALITY MODE button allows you to the change the processing quality of the
lowpass filter. Normal means without oversampling, high with 2x oversampling and
so less anti-aliasing.
IMPORTANT: If you want to save a preset or bank, make sure the file extension is
correctly written, like „My Preset.s7p“
