Authentic sound and control
Enjoy an authentic layout and sound design process that accurately reflects the original while integrating the benefits of an unhindered virtual workflow. The signature dual oscillator tones are fully present, each with dedicated LFOs for modulating pulse width. To emphasise the CS-80 V's focus on expression, you can independently adjust how velocity and aftertouch affect volume and brilliance parameters. The focus on expression doesn't end there. The signature ribbon starts your pitch bends from wherever it is first touched; use it for pitch adjustments or modulation of parameters. Multi-mode high-pass and low-pass filters are offered in series with dedicated envelopes for comprehensive sound design capabilities. Bring undeniable thickness to your sounds with the built-in sub-oscillator, and unlock the deep sound palette of the CS-80 V with the built-in ring modulator.
If you want to get stuck right into what the CS-80 V and its classic counterpart have to offer you can instantly recall the actual factory sounds built into the factory models with a single button.
Modernised features and workflow
Arturia has remained authentic to the original design but also included a range of advanced features that allow you to enjoy modern sound design capabilities alongside all the original tones. Create precise modulations with three multi-segment envelope generators, each with three customisable destinations. Presented in an intuitive modulation view, you can draw your own curves, adjust the scale, and define complex multi-modulations with a modulation mixer.
A dedicated keyboard control section makes it easier than ever to tap into the CS-80 V's expressive performance options. With four keyboard slots including velocity, aftertouch, mod wheel, and keyboard tracking, and the ability to assign each slot to up to three custom outputs you can affect your sound in captivating ways.
The sound of the CS-80 V is already hugely versatile, but with the addition of three effects slots you can take it even further. Choose from 15 effect types including but not limited to multi-band compression, tape delay, and reverb, and arrange them in series or parallel.
Iconic sound
Built on the famous Yamaha CS-80 made famous by Vangelis' timeless score for Bladerunner, the CS-80 V brings all the character of the original to your DAW. Create captivating and dynamic sounds with CS-80 V's two oscillators, each featuring dedicated LFOs for pulse width modulation, delivering classic synth tones full of personality. Utilize the powerful sub-oscillator for deep basslines or electrifying textures to elevate your sound design. Explore the extensive sonic possibilities with the built-in Ring Modulator, offering an array of unique metallic and futuristic timbres that will keep you immersed in experimentation.
Powered by TAE technology
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, the CS-80 V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, the CS-80 V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
Reviews
"I just sold my Yamaha GX1 because I have a great replacement with Arturia's CS-80 V." - Hans Zimmer (Score Composer)
"It has loads of personality and is capable of amazing sounds which are impossible on my real CS-80." - Eric Persing (Sound Engineer)
"It has a smooth, detailed sound that you would expect from a real analog synthesizer; with filters that make other digital synths sound gritty by comparison. The CS-80 V just sounds great!" - James Lumb (Electric Skychurch)
