Yamaha CS80

Hi all...it's nice for me to meet some cs owners and fans...obviously 
I don't own one of them but I played one some years ago while in 
Bologna....no words! Sadly if I ever could find one in a good shape I 
couldn't have it the same...too short space, too many problems and 
too short time to fix them...I had no choice but buying a Virtual 
version which I *know* it can't be the same...I did recognize some of 
the people on whose site I daily came ( OldCrow and recently the 
['ramp] site...guys I'm also a Roland Vocoder plus appreciator...!!!).
Guys, even if I'm not involved in any Arturia deal I will give the 
address of the group to Arturia people too and look if they want to 
subscribe...first because they actually own a CS80 on which I think 
they developed the model, and secondly because I think there could be 
a good exchange of ideas which can improve the sound performance of 
the cs80v (the square wave, first!).
Long live this group!

Welcome aboard!

I always liked those.  Back when I had a CS-60, I always ran it
through a Roland SVC-350 vocoder.  I didn't use it too much for
talking effects, but it was great to say/sing a vowel sound and then
hit the hold foot switch.  This would put great formants on the CS-60
sound.

It would be great to have them around.  I know they fixed the ribbon
response as I, and many others, requested (unfortunately, the fix is
only in the real version, not the demo, so I haven't heard it yet. Has
anyone checked it out and tried sweeping to 0?).
