Hey all, I just bought a new synth: Roland RS-5, (couldn't afford the S-9), I really wanted an Arturia CS-80V, but couldn't find one, (only the emulator). I can't wait until it comes in the post and I can start messing around with it. Does anyone have any experience with it? ------------- i!i!i!i!i! SqUiRrEl MoNkEy i!i!i!i!i! |

squirrel - CS80 by Arturia is a software emulaiton only they don't make a hardware version. It's an emulation of the classic late 70s Yamaha CS80,which was much favoured by Vangelis - you can hear it all over the Bladerunner soundtrack. The original Yamaha keyboard version weighed about 2 tons and cost a small fortune ($5000 or more in the late 70s which must be about $25k in today's money) and while stable was a beast to lug around. Arturia's software model is indeed an awesome recreation and extraordinary value at a couple of hundred buck. it's a cpu-hungry monster though. As for the hardware Yamaha - good luck finding one and good luck convincing your parents to let you keep it in the house! Not heard the roland but congratulations and well may you wear it! |

That's probably why I could only find the emulator then...  ------------- i!i!i!i!i! SqUiRrEl MoNkEy i!i!i!i!i! |
