CS-80 V

Arturia

Where to get itAvailable from Arturiaarturia.com

CS-80 V is a software emulation of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 analog synthesizer, featuring dual channels with resonant filters, unique 5-parameter VCF envelopes, and the famous ring modulator. This plugin goes beyond the original hardware with modern additions including a modulation mixer, advanced effects chain, keyboard response adjustments, and voice dispersion modeling for authentic vintage character.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Dual synth channels with VCO, HPF, LPF, and VCA per channel
02Unique 5-parameter VCF envelope (IL, AL, A, D, R) with Classic or Long envelope modes
03Ring modulator with dedicated LFO and AD envelope for speed modulation
04Advanced Modulations tab with three custom Functions (Envelope/LFO modes) and Modulation Mixer
05Effects chain with Distortion (16 types), Reverb, Compressor, Flanger (BL-20), Stereo Pan, Multi Filter, and more
06Voice Dispersion modeling with three preset levels plus custom per-voice calibration
07Sub Oscillator global LFO with selectable modulation routing

Things to Try

  • 01Use the band-pass filter by tuning HPF and LPF to create a limited frequency range for acoustic instrument emulation
  • 02Engage the ring modulator at higher frequencies for clangorous, metallic effects distinct from original VCO harmonics
  • 03Set Long envelope mode to extend VCF decay up to 25 seconds and VCA decay up to 25 seconds for slowly evolving ambient textures
  • 04Activate Voice Dispersion level 3 for subtle inter-voice differences mimicking the calibration quirks of vintage hardware
