Subject: Re: [yamahacs80] Your opinion on CS60

From: laurie <laurie@...>
Date: 2006-04-29

the CS80 is "like" 2 CS60s each with independent patch rows and footage
selectors which are mixed..and then modulated .giving you dual CS60
(Plus One) programability and flexibility....and then combining them at
the control center with common ring mod, portamento/gliss,sub osc....
key assign control and dual control over brilliance and
resonance.....Even with the limited six player programmable panels,there
exists 225 combinations of the two rows of fifteen which again have 36
footage combinations giving a mixable pallet of 8,100 (at hand)
sounds...
Then you have the beautiful playability and control of the polyAT which
allows differences amongst the 16 oscillators,and then the "quad"
control of overall brilliance and resonance......Have we reached
infinity yet folks????
