Amberwolf Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Funnily enough, I hadn't used a CS-80 type sound in many years, until this past week or so I started using a Rapture patch that emulates the CS-80 as used for some Bladerunner sounds, in this project https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/gareki .

Amberwolf Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What I would like is a *hardware* version of the CS80's input section (the keyboard, modulation controls, etc), as an 88 key control unit. (these days I probably couldn't actually use it's capabilities, though when I was much younger I would have tried). There are probably already units out there that do what it did, but I don't know which ones they might be (haven't done much digging on it, since they're all out of my budget range anyway).

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The market is getting a little crowded with CS-80 emulations and sound-alikes. Arturia, Cherry Audio, Memorymoon, Softube, Xils-Labs, a few free vst's, sample-based versions from UVI and IK, and more I think that there are still some old hardware synths used in iconic albums that haven't seen good emulations yet, like the RMI Harmonic Synthesizer used by JMJ in Oxygene. I hope we'll see them from Xils Labs in the not too distant future (I did email Xils Labs about this instrument and Xavier Oudin replied that it looked interesting so, keep fingers crossed!)

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If you buy this together with 4 other plugins, you could get this for $63.20 ($79 - 20% off when buying 5 products) at dontcrack.com (yeah, it's not that often that you want to buy 5 items at the same time, but...) https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=4493 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
