The CS-80 V from Arturia is a software reproduction of the legendary Yamaha CS-80 polyphonic synthesizer from the late '70s. It's unique dual-voice layout allowed for rich and full sounds, popularized by artists such as Toto, Jean-Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Stevie Wonder, Vangelis, Ultravox, and Peter Gabriel, to name a few.
The virtual instrument offers all the features of the original synthesizer, plus some new ones. A modulation matrix provides a choice of thirteen sources and thirty-eight destinations. Also new are a multi-timbral mode, an arpeggiator, and a stereo delay. The plug-in comes loaded with more than 500 presets.
