Hi Max
Your developer should contact me so we canrepair/restore the CS80 for him – I am based in the UK.
A fully restored CS80 is something to behold. Currently, between my restorer and myself, we have 9 x CS80’s in variousstates of restoration but certainly 5 fully restored and awaiting collectionfrom customers from all over Europe so we have a good “feel” forthe instrument, you might say. The problem with modeling is starting froma good base point. I personally have worked with a number of software companieswhen covering/developing vintage synthesizers and it’s always interestingto know how they represent an instrument as characteristic as this genre represents. The Minimoog is a great example as every single one I have ever sold hassounded different so when modeling one then I always wonder which one is it modeledon?
Fortunately, the CS80 is more (relative) consistentthan the Moog but a thousand times more expressive which to date, I have notexperienced from the Arturia software although I do own the CS80V and think itis a nice polysynth plug-in.
If your people are considering/working anupdate to the CS80V and would like to have there original instrument restoredcorrectly then you/they are welcome to contact me or my restorer directly butfor the purposes of this forum then this should be done directly – rlmusic@...
David – thanks for the opportunityto express this and apologies if this seems off-topic somewhat.
Regards

Hi Richard
Actually they own a CS-80, it's thedeveloper's own, but it suffers from some troubles with ribbon and needs tuningand calibration for filters and envelopes....BTW, I'm asking all these thingsfor personal knowledge too.
What I can say for CS-80 is that itsuffers from sort of a "weak" filter signal, I think that anappropriate softclipping code must be added to filter's algorithm!

Consideringthe sophisticated modeling nature of a plug-in I would have through themanufacturers (Arturia) of this would at least own real CS80 to start with.
Thismight explain why the CS80V sounds nothing remotely like theoriginal…geeze.
Idon’t think an MP3 will help Dave.

Max,
Why are you putting these files in the CS-80group? There's already a
CS-80v Yahoo group. Most people here don'thave the CS80v software. If
you wanted people to compare the sound of the two,it would make more
sense to upload sample/mp3 files.
I don't have a problem with the CS80v program - Ithink it's actually a
great idea. However, you should have letpeople know that that it why
you have been asking all the technical questionsthe last few weeks.
Whether or not you are getting any money for yourwork on this, it's
still working on developing a commercial product,and people should know
this when helping you.
David
