Hi James
Thanks for your interest...
It's not my intention to nag CS-80 owners but
frankly I would have wish a feeback even if I wasn't collaborating for tweaking
CS-80V, just a fan's curiosities about the old boy...anyway I talked with
Arturia developer and he was aware of these things...I learnt IB was a primitive
way to implement velocity by applying a supplemental voltage ( with an AD
envelope linked to the Aftertouch ) to filter...what amazed me was the link to
AL which is surely one of the things that allow a CS to sound less
"electronic"....a simple velocity to cutoff would have let it sound near to any
other synth out there...and that's why I hadn't the same feeling with the V ( I
played a CS-80 a bunch of times in the past )....anyway the developer told me he
would be trying to implement a similar touch response in the future ( even
if it's not an easy thing to model out )...and I hope he will succeed fixing the
damn Chorus and tweak that Ringmod-fake sine....
All the best
Max
