@aeko .... it doesn't apparently...! Sorry but you just cannot beat the real thing. In this case that expression is particularly true. The CS-80 has 'presence' - it is 'alive' and actually makes you play in a way that 'software' cannot. Trust me on this one. Same goes for Hammond Organs. You can get things to 'sound similar' but never replace the actual "playing experience". Analog Rules...!!!!!!
The closest I am currently is my Yamaha SY-2 (a charming monosynth from 1974) and the Arturia CS-80V on the computer. Not too close, but gives me a tiny inkling of what I could do with a real CS-80 (plus Noddy's videos too!)
My ultimate Synth... but you just hear Vangelis all the time

How do you think the Arturia version compares?

This keyboard maybe old but it'll blow any modern synth into the weeds. Give me a vintage CS80 anyday.

that is a really long release for a CS80...
slammah2012 3 years ago
yes it is,
it would have been useful for pads if the cs80 had longer release, I noticed the arturia gave plenty extra!!!
