Your developer should contact me so we can repair/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 CS80s in various states of restoration but certainly 5 fully restored and awaiting collection from customers from all over Europe so we have a good feel for the instrument, you might say. The problem with modeling is starting from a good base point. I personally have worked with a number of software companies when covering/developing vintage synthesizers and its always interesting to 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 has sounded different so when modeling one then I always wonder which one is it modeled on?
Fortunately, the CS80 is more (relative) consistent than the Moog but a thousand times more expressive which to date, I have not experienced from the Arturia software although I do own the CS80V and think it is a nice polysynth plug-in.
If your people are considering/working an update to the CS80V and would like to have there original instrument restored correctly then you/they are welcome to contact me or my restorer directly but for the purposes of this forum then this should be done directly rlmusic@...
David thanks for the opportunity to express this and apologies if this seems off-topic somewhat.
Regards

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

Considering the sophisticated modeling nature of a plug-in I would have through the manufacturers (Arturia) of this would at least own real CS80 to start with.
This might explain why the CS80V sounds nothing remotely like the original geeze.
I dont think an MP3 will help Dave.

Max,
Why are you putting these files in the CS-80 group? There's already a
CS-80v Yahoo group. Most people here don't have 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 - I think it's actually a
great idea. However, you should have let people know that that it why
you have been asking all the technical questions the last few weeks.
Whether or not you are getting any money for your work on this, it's
still working on developing a commercial product, and people should know
this when helping you.
David
