Yamaha CS80

Hey there

I'm looking for patches for the cs-80, especially some of the vangelis 
sounds from blade runner?
What are your methodes to store more then 4 patches?
I thought to take some pictures of the panael/silders when I found a 
nice sound which is worth to remember.
What do you think maybe we should try to realize some kind of patch 
library based on photos?

true, but of course you have the performance controls overriding parts of the preset so I'd 
say the presets are a solid jumping off point rather than the instant sound he used

... and don't forget the Lexicon 224 ;-)

Here you go: http://www.keyboardmuseum.com/ar/s/syda/syda.html !   Now 
you just have to find one, assuming there were any working units ever built.

I think it would be great if someone makes up a simple, clean patch 
sheet.  I could set up a folder for them on the website. Let's do it!

Nice idea I think; I mentioned this briefly last November but
didn't get any responses.

I don't think a photo will work - easy to do but you'll either
be too far away to see the details, or you'll lose perspective
by being at an angle to different keyboard sections, or you'll
need the hassle of multiple photos...

Here's an easy text method I use.  The idea is to denote the
slider settings relative to the tick marks, for instance the 
"SPEED" one below (leftmost slider per custom patch) means 
about 6 tenths of the way from the 3rd to 4th tick mark.

SPEED   3ticks + 60%
PWM     5      + 0%
PW      3      + 50%

SQUARE  [ON]
SAW     [OFF]

NOISE   0ticks + 0% (i.e. "OFF")

This is even easier for modified presets, as you don't have to
go through 24 sliders per patch.

Note that the global controllers are harder to estimate closely.
I denote those as like
RESONANCE  45% (meaning a little less than halfway "down").

The dials I denote as times on the clock... chorus depth 2:15,
speed 10:30, etc.

I think a simple text format is easier than editing a graphical
template in some painting application.  No method is trivial
that's for sure, when you're talking about several dozen readings
per custom patch.

Thanks - it's not necessarily better, but certainly entails smaller 
file sizes and completely ubiquitous editing application i.e. Word, 
Notepad, etc.  Also, arguably, it's easier to read & go set your 
attack time 60% between notches 3&4 than take the extra step of 
implicitly interpreting that from a picture and then making the 
setting.

I looked back at the couple patches I took down this way after I got 
the keyboard - by far the best one was not completely listed - seem 
to have skipped voice #2.  So maybe I'm a worthless idiot after all 
(don't answer that).

That could work. : )
