See websites dedicated to him all the pr characteristics of this wonderful synth.

UTILIZATION

The config is as SVT with Yamaha surprising at first, but after hours QLQ experiments, it is clearly the most fabulous synth to play tps real parameter access is very instinctive, the resulting action immediate, the dosage should be done with subtlety.
No need for instructions as simplicity despite the very gd nb of control possible is the key word of this (very) big synth. (This is not the case Memorymmog Plus, the Prophet VS for example ...)

SOUNDS

I personally am not a fan of presets QLQ '1 except that I mix with one that I create (such as the use of guitar sound presets, presets and other percussive sounds mixed with a more long etc ... )
I do not like the two effects (which blow a little for that matter) that are vibrato and chorus).
The term is not "good" but EXCELLENT.

For me, the CS80 is comparable to a real acoustic instrument as the potential for modulation LIVEPAGE are great!
A cellist friend was surprised extrèmment expressiveness .... and yet he heard of bcp "big" polyphonic analog synths such as OBXa, Memmorymoog, 5/VS prophet, Synthex, etc ...

Luckily, it is very fast tune, and just!
It is expensive but exceptional, except that a price must be near to invest a little more than a memmory but frankly here is the ... moreover, with one CSO is able to dethrone the low and below the lower memmorymoog!
