Yamaha CS-80 Demo

I’ll take 7.

Yamaha obviously knows the secret sauce for the CS-80.. They could probably re-make it in something the size of a Kleenex box........we're waiting Yami!!!!

as used by Mike Thorne on Wire's 154 x

Thanks for doing this. And thank you for making awesome sounds, not those boring pads and leads etc...

My reface cs is cool too

What unearthly dimension did these sounds spawn from?

is it me or does that CS-80 look really huge? Or is the guy just tiny? xD

Bitch, I think I'm Vangelis

I always thought "The Beast" had 2 banks of 8 oscillators?

in a word: dreadful

The comments here are kind of crazy. Vangelis used it to create the Blade Runner soundtrack, Chariots of Fire and many other masterpieces. It sells on vintage market for more than $20,000. I'm sure there must be something good and unique about it.

Lol this demo

more sounds with the resonance turned down please

this synth is 10000 times better than this video btw oof please re shoot this

Roy Bittan used it on Bruce Springsteens Born In the USA album in 1984.

Waiting for the Behringer Replica ;-)

Imagine being a musician with a head full of acid back in the 70's and messing around on one of these

Hi, video too short, it should be at least 20 minutes, thx anyway

RIP Vangelis.

Toto's Keyboard ❤

Great Demo!!! What would Mark Mothersbaugh have done if he could have afforded this beast? Back in the 1970s... IMHO

Eddie Jobson got the best sounds from this beast.

Wow. I would need a separate back
House for that thing.

Vangelis was the CS80 master !!

overrated
also, I have a VSTi of that that sounds the same if not better than the real thing.

Sadly most of these machines no longer function due to being caked in dried up sprog

Not really portable with a weight of 100kg. 🤭
But it sounds sooo good.

I really dislike when someone hammers on the cs-80!
Like only playing stacatto on a violin!

i bet half of the sega genesis game music was made on one of these. Either this or the GX-1 i guess

Is there more footage of this? Like minus the cut outs? I’d would dope if you put that out

Looks like a fun machine.

1977. not 1976

JUst head basiclt the same ring mode in a Flume album and thought that guy was really pushing forward modern EDM... I guess i really do know next to nothing about synthesizers

i would like to know how bob moog felt when this came out

200 lbs?!?!? That's insane!

I bought Willa Ford’s CS80

Damn that thing was so much ahead of its time!

Amigo con este sinte toco banda SPACE su single clasico Magic Fly.

Clasico sinte de la cancio Rossana de TOTO.

To sound it's best it needs a nice reverb .

Sounds like farts
