This sounds like a good opportunity for a proper AB test.

I'm listening to the demo sounds now - and I'm inclined to agree with your
comment on the cheap wannabe. This sounds thinner than my CS80V, though I
use more signal processing as softsynths generally need beefing up a bit.

As I have the Arturia CS80V, would you, or someone else in the group, like
to compare some patches?

Maybe it'd be easiest if I posted a few patches to be copied on a CS80,
rather than the other way round, as I can take a screen print of the patch
settings and send that as well, so the exact settings can be replicated?
That'd probably be easier than someone listing their patch settings or
photographing their 80.

Or of course if someone has both the CS80 and the Arturia, that would be
better. :D
