Yamaha CS80

Its exactly 1:38 into the track of Missing (love theme)
  and like 3:08 I think on the same track..
  In that way...its what I am and most of you are wired to respond to.
  I think Vangelis understood.I think various artists "get it"
  They don't just "play on an emotional level"...they become one
  with their emotional level...and then the music just floats out
  into the air...seemingly like one glorious note after another.
   
  I know when I hear it in my studio..because I feel it as much
  as I would "hear it" and I do think we all know when we do.
  I saw Santana once get into " this zone" for about 20 minutes...
  and I remember wanting to weep the whole way through.
  Voices can do that to all of us.
  But very few instruments can.....
  This is one of them.

  Hi Jim,

yes, it´s easy to dismiss all other smaller CS synths as complete pieces of
garbage. Which is utter nonsense as the CS50 can sound so enormously huge
and creamy, you wouldn´t believe if you just saw this vaguely home-organish
look.

Like Klaus Schulze once said "I used to have both a CS80 and a modular Moog
onstage, and as soon as I turned to the CS80, the Big Moog was no longer
audible". Which is true for all other CS synths of that era, too.

BTW, anybody selling an SS-30?

Stephen.
