supersaw

Contrary to what has been added prior to this entry, the Supersaw actually comprises of SEVEN detuned sawtooth waves, not two. It first appeared on the Roland JP-80x0 series of synthesizers. It is a waveform selectable on Oscillator 1 of the JP series.

The lead synth line in System F - Out of the Blue utilises a supersaw.
