I played with a CS60 once, the single OSC version of CS80. I must say I wasnt that impressed. I'm not so sure if the CS80 is so great, or if it is the man behind it.

The low note he hits @ 0:31 is identical to one he hits in the main theme at the beginning of bladerunner. Then at 0:42 he actually plays the very beginning of the same bladerunner theme!!!! holy crap- one of the best soundtracks ever... never thought i'd actually get to see him do that. Thanks!

The CS-80 is a monster synth and Vangelis certainly mastered it. Eddie Jobson is another one that mastered the beast. U.K.'s first album is filled with unbelievable tones from the CS-80.

that's so typical!. Either it's by language or by genious (i guess it's the 2) that he describes everything in an abstract way, not really willing or able to comunicate it but iniside there's all these exact knowledge going on about how to create synthesis

I used to own an Elka Synthex. I thought it was the best polysynth I`d ever heard. I have to withdraw that statement. The CS-80 is probably the most spectacular sounding polysynth ever (except for the Yamaha GX1.
I`m so impressed by the CS-80`filter, When playing a straight sawtooth vawe, while opening the cut off frequency at its maximum, a "razor sharp" sound will be heard. I haven`t succeeded repoducing this sound on either arps and moogs, or any other instrument for that matter.

the Sampler keyboard in the front is probably the emulator 2 from EMU use by new order and depeche mode and other electronic artist but it's not the first Sampler of the world the first digital sampler is the Fairlight used by Peter Gabriel and also Queen and JM Jarre, there another Sampler using for the Movie Akira and the music of Franck Zappa is the Synclavier. those CS-80 from Yamaha is just awesome we cannot simulate this on software it's not good enough for the lfo, attack and decay stuff.

Vangelis was drawn ...( 1 month ago by UncleFeedle)
Vangelis was drawn to the CS80 primarily for its expressive capabilities. You'll never see him just select a patch and play a song with it, as 90% of modern keyboardists do - he's always tweaking controls with the other hand in realtime, and making that part of the performance. He really PLAYS it, putting feeling and expression into music much as a violinist would.
´s a natural born genius.
