Lovely thing! We had one at university where I studied music production, songwriting, sound engineering, etc. Good times!

 

Had the change to buy one befor all the overated prices of vintage machines.
Shop where i bought a lot of stuff in the past had one quite affordable about maybe 15.. 16 years ago..
Walked out with a Nordlead 1.
If you only could look in to the future.
Played with the CS and remember that i thought.. dont need an organ......

 

That CS80 from GS looks like it came just from the factory

 

That look no guy who uses to much amfetamine is really annoying.

 

Nice piece of hardware.
Let's just say you won't run out of faders.

 

Well, that's nothing compared to certain someone

 

Just the calibration is a mission.

 

That some serious speed gurning going on, I bet his jaw aches. Those pupils though, can't hide that from the camera flashes

 

You're right but the pupils are the least of it. The eyes "amplitude" alone
Damn, I have similar photos of myself, not on speed though. Not so wasted in general but yeah, the jaw next day.. ahem

I could only afford the CS-60 when it first came out, and even then by selling my Blue Meanie ARP 2600.
The 2600 kept going out of tune, anyway.
No poly aftertouch, but the ribbon
Always dreamed of getting a CS-80.
Maybe Behringer will come through?

 

Vangelis played the CS-80 on a shtload of records. Amazing synth, i only played it once and loved every minute of it. I had a CS-10 for many years and it's a lovely monosynth.

 

I need to watch the video...if they've retro-fitted the faders to send MIDI...?

 

Before the CS-80 there was the YC-45D. I think D was for dog. It sounded awful without a Leslie. Anyway the 80 looked similar and I dismissed it at the time as another attempt by Yamaha to make the greatest portable organ on earth. I was wrong.

 

That looks kind of a transition from the 80s giant Hammond Organs to the 90s synths.
I had one of those Hammond when I was a little kid. Upright piano dimensions, two keyboards and almost a hundred of switches.

 

what i dont get that it seems to be the only one with a ribbon controller
even today
