CS-80 V faithfully resurrects the most famous Japanese synthesizer of all time in software form; a nexus of unmatched expressivity, distinctly cinematic sound, and cutting-edge softsynth enhancements for a virtual instrument that’s almost human.
Evolution ofthe species
For some, it’s the sound of Blade Runner. For others, it’s a keyboard that offers more expressive control and flexibility than anything before or since.
For you, CS-80 V is a chance to experience a true titan of synthesis, a retro sound design staple, and an emotive instrument that begs to be played.
Discover an unmistakably bold analog sound that’s defined countless records, soundtracks, and genres, fused with a sprawling expressive architecture, enhanced to respond to every aspect of your musical style.
Expressive, alive
This is no ordinary softsynth; CS-80 V is a living, breathing thing that responds to every element of your musicality. Its array of expressive controls and reactive architecture produces a sound that’s an extension of yourself.
Cinematic sound
Glistening pads steeped in retro-futuristic charm, tense bass you can feel in your chest, plucky modulated leads that demand full attention; CS-80 V is pure analog theatricality. Whatever your story, this is your soundtrack.
Modern enhancements
No other synth sounds like it, but CS-80 V’s host of modern features fits right into your modern production setup. With enhancements like MPE compatibility and analog dispersion, enliven your mix with authentic, evocative, timeless sound without compromising the software flexibility you need.
Rebuilt from the ground up
CS-80 V represents the pinnacle of software modeling, virtualizing every circuit and component of the original, retrofitted with functionality for the modern production workflow. Simply the best replicant there is.
A watershedin synth history
Designed to put a renowned instrument company on the synthesizer map, the CS-80 exceeded every expectation to become a staple instrument for everyone from Toto to Vangelis.
Its expressive controls, distinct interface, and rich organic sound was sought after then; nowadays, it’s almost mythical. CS-80 V carries this legacy forward, in all its authentic glory, locked and loaded for your virtual studio.
Giving this legend the virtual instrument it deserves is one of the more challenging projects we’ve ever taken on. We’re delighted with the results and we hope you will be, too.
