Zappa's CS80s (and lots more) being auctioned

Aw: [yamahacs80] Zappa's CS80s (and lots more) being auctioned

2016-10-23 by Stephen Parsick

Two apparently fairly neglected instruments in dire need of a thorough overhaul, one with Moog-style wheels added to the left of the keyboard (the unit has been dropped onto its back which in turn caused the keybed to slide into the voiceboards, as it seems)... each a mere 12,500 US$ currently.
 
A steal. For millionaires, that is.

Hi all.

 

I just read about this auction: http://www.julienslive.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/192/?page=5

 

Tons of gear including a couple of CS80s!  Even an EML SynKey - very odd, rare synth.  Any collectors with lots of extra money?

Wow! Incredible background info, Stephen. I noticed that the Chorus  and Leslie switches have been moved up in line with the pitch ribbon.
It'll be interesting to see in whose hands this unit ends up.

Hi Stephen,

Fine tracks! Thanks for sharing.

Wich effects did you use on the CS-50 track? Is there a chorus on it or
is it "only" the reverb?

Hi Florian,
 
for the CS50 track I only used the Roland 330 combo (SRV/SDE/SDX) so I guess the little bit of chorus you're hearing is the Dimension D simulation the SDX-330 produces.
