FROM THE ORIGINAL MYTH...
In 1976, Yamaha introduced the CS-80, a synthesizer based on the same
circuits as the GX1. The price tag ($6900) put it out of the reach of
most musicians, and the weight (83kgs with stand) made it sometimes
hard to use on stage. But the qualities of this synthesizer, considered
Japans first great synthesizer, made it immediately famous in the Music
Industry.
The CS-80 was popularised in the late 70’s and early
80’s by a number of pop groups, including Electric Light Orchestra,
Toto, Paul McCartney and Wings. Other artists and bands like Vangelis,
Bon Jovi, Jean-Michel Jarre, Geoffrey Down, Stevie Wonder and some
others turned the CS-80 into a real myth.
Peter Forrest (in the
A-Z of Analogue Synthesizers, Susurreal, First published 31/10/96)
says: “When it comes to trying to decide which of the top-flight synths
is the best ever, it’s not easy. (…) But if you are looking at richness
of sound coupled
with performance power, and sheer overkill, maybe nothing can touch it”.
... TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES
The CS-80V is the reproduction of the legendary Yamaha® CS-80, which is considered by many as the "ultimate polyphonic synthesizer".
More than 25 years after its release, the time has come to rediscover a
sound that has extensively contributed to the history of music...
The CS-80V offers all the features of the original
synth, plus a new generation of innovative features, taking the
original design to a new elevated level:
- A modulation matrix:to rebuild all circuits: a choice of 12 sources and 38 destinations for 10 additional modulations
- A Multi Mode: allowing to assign a different sound to
each polyphonic voice. 4 different keyboard sections for
"multitimbrality", with the possibility to direct each voice (4
polyphonic modes, and 3 unison modes from 2 to 8 voices).
- An arpeggiator and a stereo delay
Benefit from the experience of the best sound designers
The CS-80V comes loaded with more than 400 presets made by a selection of talented sound designers.
