45 years on from its release, Yamaha’s CS-80 synth seems more popular than ever. Ownership of the original hardware, though, is the preserve of the lucky few, so the market for software emulations is potentially huge.
Now Softube has joined the likes of Arturia and Cherry Audio in releasing its own version of the CS-80. In fact, the so-called Model 77 (the number denoting the year in which the CS-80 was released) actually emulates a couple of other CS synths, too: the CS-50 and CS-60.
