Yamaha CS80

Thanks for the vid.......

I fully agree about the verb


Any time excess reverb gets thrown on a synth it really levels out
the playing field....IMO

making a CS80 sound more like Todays over FXed synths ie (korg
radias)


I can tell the difference is obvious with the polyAT functions but
to people with no CS background, the verb could make it sound
similar to cheaper synths...


Thanks for posting

Subject: [yamahacs80] Added New CS80 YouTube Video

Hi,

I added a new video - having listened to it, I had too much reverb and
the dynamics are so wide that I burnt the camera inputs. I will
eventually redo these ... next time I will go through a compressor
(soft of course). I cannot put a line-input into my video camera so I
will see if I can get a webcam and feed the computer directly.

There are three pieces in here:

The first is an arpeggio sequence where I control the tone with
pressure and velocity and the expression pedal. The second is a brass
patch which I played terribly and fumbled a bit, but chose to leave it
as is for now. The last piece is really using the Funk preset and some
extreme settings and extreme play in the way I am pressing the keys to
get as wide a sweep as possible.

I'm planning to do a sound-effects video next to show how ambiances
and effects of various kinds can be done and I'm also going to show
some tips and tricks with outboard processors and gear for playable
effects textures.

Any reactions are welcome.

Thanks!
