Yamaha CS80

Hi All,

Does anyone know perhaps how Eddie Jobson gets that sweeping, morphing 
effect CS80 effect behind Allan Holdsworth's amazing guitar solo on In 
The Dead Of Night? It almost sounds like it's being arppegiated, but 
he's definately going back and forth between the 2 voices on the CS. 
This has had me stumped for years. I almost think it could be a quirky 
resonant hipass filter thing.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Are you talking about the sequencer-ish sound at the end?  It's also at 
the beginning of 'By the Light of Day'.  I remember reading an old 
Keyboard Magazine interview with Eddie where he said it was some kind of 
sequencer/synth that I never heard of.  Anyone remember or have that issue?

No, I am specifically referring to the pad behind the Holsdworth
solo. It sounds like it morphs between 2 voices on the CS with the
Mix slider.

Best,
