Yamaha CS80

I think the CS benefits enormously from adding a Roland Dimension D and a huge, airy reverb ambience to it (Dynacord DRP-20, Lexicon 224, EMT 246, Roland SRV-330 etc.). Adding a little bit of stereo delay (Roland SDE-330, Sony D7) also does miracles.

Recorded completely "dry", the CS sounds absolutely terrible IMO.

  i think reverb is the most beneficial effect for analog synths. i suggest an analog spring reverb. the peavey valverb is a rackmount spring verb that can be had for relatively cheap. if you are handy, they can be built out of a reverb tank and 2 channels of your mixing desk's sends/returns. 

  i also think its helpful to know the sound of a synth as it is-dry. spend some time with it with no effects.

  good luck-rj

  Hi,

  newbie question here. 

  I recently purchased a CS-60 in perfect working condition (funny story 

  it was used for 10 years at a clinic to produce sounds and test them on 

  test subjects for some experiments, didn't exactly know what kind of 

  tests they were). It came with the foot switch and foot controller. I 

  am quite happy with it, this is my first analog synth! 

  I am now shopping for a great reverb/effect to complement this, hoping 

  it can provide additional sonic possibilities. I am wondering if 

  someone can recommend some good effects modules that would bring this 

  synth to its potential, and maybe more...

  cheers,

  ocean
