It´s a wonderful instrument which is ultimately rewarding to use because it´s so musical and so organic-sounding. I never felt too fond of any other famous analogue polysynth like a Jupiter 8, Synthex, Matrix 12, Memory Moog, what have you, after I got a CS80 but I hate the issues it has... I´d never sell mine, I´m happy to own one, but frankly, even though I had it overhauled by a CS expert in The Netherlands, it still isn´t up to where I want it to be. This is quite annoying, especially when you´re using your tools on a semi-pro level.

Right; but on the other hand, when I received mine, and it was good enough
in tune for playing with heavily PWM'ed sounds at least, I couldn't get my
fingers off of it for two hours. There's not many instruments that do this
for me.
