Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Yamaha CS80

I was impressed with the CS60 the first time I got it. I was expecting limited sounds, thin, terrible patches...But it was the opposite. I appreciate the smoothness of the sound compared to my OB-Xa. Yes it does not have auto-tune, and the mod capabilities of the OB but it is a great synth. My CS60 is at the techs shop for maintenance and I added unison to it, can't wait to get it back.....About the tuning, well my CS60 traveled from NY to FL and surprisingly when I turned it on (had to wait about 30min to warm up) it was in tune!!!! I was scared about this since a lot of people complain about the stability issue. I talked to my tech about this, he was working on the OSC trying to make then a bit more stable, I asked about this and he replied that more than moving it around temperature is the main factor for instability. He recommended to have it in a room with a constant temperature.

I don't know if I could compare it to a P5 though they are so different....I know I replaced my Jup6 with the CS60 mainly due to the fact that I already had a CEM based synth and was looking for something different....Still the Jup6 (Great synth BTW) very different from the CS60....
