Hi Daniel. Thanks for the link to the manuals. I guess these keyboards could be fun if cheap enough. However, it has zero in common with the classic CS series. Different oscillators. Different filter (no 2-pole or high-pass/band-pass). Different envelopes. No ribbon. No aftertouch - channel or poly. Not even velocity.

It's just a fairly generic VA that doesn't even have presets unless you use their new WebMIDI thing.

At least it's good that owners of the real beasts don't have to worry that this will somehow hurt the value of their instruments!

David - back to some really cool CS80 mods I'll be sharing soon
