seems someone will finally make the cs80 available for an affordable price

Interesting especially if he implements polyphonic after-touch

 

yes it seems he will even check advanced expressive and the Roli seaboard technology

 

It will probably be more expensive than a Voyager XL....

 

- according to Filippov the original synth’s unmistakable chorus, ring mod, delay and spring reverb effects will be included in a separate 1U rack unit.
- there is a complex CV expander unit planned. So eventually, a patchable CS-80 may be realized.
- at last comments, $1000 for the kit, or $5000 built. (that doesn't include the extra two add-ons)

Perhaps we'll see something from Behringer

 

if a big company can buy his idea, it will be cheaper than when it is made by a small one man's company
