CS80 motif

CS80 motif

2009-01-03 by technoproducer303

Hi Everyone,

Given the scarcity of CS80 demo recordings on the web I thought you  
all might enjoy this.  This motif (or whatever you want to call it) is  
recorded in a single take with ONE dual-channel patch, late one  
night.  The raw recording is running through Logic 8's "Spreader"  
plugin as an insert (to add some width), and there is an aux send to  
DelayDesigner (also a Logic plugin). The CS80 was recorded via an RME  
Fireface 800.

Kinda long, definitely a few missed notes here and there and no MIDI  
quantization, but I think this recording properly shows one of the  
many moods that the CS80 can create, with ample use of initial  
velocity and aftertouch modulation.  Funny thing with this synth is it  
can sound totally uninspiring and then all of the sudden one falls in  
to a patch that is out of this world.  Anyone else feel this way?

Every once in a while I will try to upload some more sounds as I  
discover them.

Cheers and Happy New Year,

Kent - not the UK Kent btw :-)

The CS80 Patches is not what inspires....

It is its playability which inspires...

The Aftertouch and the hands on interconnectiveness is what the 80 is
all about....

It's not my kind of music but i like the preset, especially the pulsing tones at the end of the session.
