More CS-80s on eBay??

2005-05-18 by David Rogoff

I just saw a couple of new auctions for CS-80s, one in Los Angeles,
one in London. The auctions look very familiar. Anyone know if these
are real or more scams?

I have not seen either of these on Ebay.

And One has no legs...

The other one seems to have a real thorough history and serial number

but also a zero Ebay rating.

I'm also paging Old Crow, if you are out there....To contact me...I

have some repair questions.

Arturias CS80V is just more preset driven than say...The

Way Out Ware's Time Warp (Arp)...So not as precise....sounds

good for what it is and importantly not as difficult to use as the TimeWarp Arp.

The Arturia approach has seemingly been always more sound designer driven

than say 100% reproduction of the original (MoogV,ArpV, and of course the CS80V...)

Anyways...those are my thoughts...It is in a sense its own instrument and

perhaps thats how (not to speak for everyone) but...most of us look at it.

Hey David -- how's my old baby coming along? ;)

The LA-based eBayer is named "audionizzerd." Though I've never
personally dealt with that seller, I've kept an eye on a lot of
audionizzerd's auctions (since I'm LA-based), about half of which have
been synths. Considering the positive track record and the fact that
the account has recently been in active use selling similar equipment, I
don't think it's suspect. Whether or not the CS-80 has been tested
completely, matches the description, etc. is always up for grabs with
almost any seller, but I don't think this one should trigger the scam
alert.

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

Guys-

Does having a model number apply to the CS80 ?

If so, where would it be?

Thanks~
