From Cherry Audio:The Yamaha CS-80 is one of the most coveted polyphonic analog synthesizers ever created. When it was originally released in 1976, there was nothing like it on the market - with features like eight-voice voice assign polyphony, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and a massive sound, it truly was a flagship in sound quality, feature set, and build quality. The CS-80 became a legend for its use by Vangelis in the classic sci-fi flick Blade Runner, creating immense and dreamy warbling soundscapes that liberally made use of its very musical and controllable ring modulator. The CS-80 set a new standard in real-time control, and Vangelis took great advantage of the CS-80's bank of arced paddle-style performance controls, as well as the aforementioned keyboard velocity and aftertouch sensitivity.With DSP code programmed by DSP master and frequent collaborator Mark Barton, Cherry Audio's GX-80 emulates all of the sonic and control characteristics of the CS-80 with outstanding accuracy.
Mark's extensive Cherry Audio GX-80 User Guide - 1research of the original CS-80 schematics and design led him back to the CS- 80's predecessor, the mighty GX-1, aka "The Dream Machine" - truly one of the most impressive synthesizers ever conceived.In the 70s and 80s, Yamaha often tested out new technology by creating a large and expensive flagship instrument. Released in 1974, the GX-1 represented the absolute cutting edge of organ and analog synthesizer technology. It was produced in extremely limited numbers (estimated around 20), and cost $50,000 (that's a comfortable house in the early 70s). This put it far out of reach for most musicians, but it was famously used by Stevie Wonder, Keith Emerson, Benny Andersson of ABBA, and a little later, by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.As its name implies, the Cherry Audio GX-80 is not purely a CS-80 emulation. Though the Yamaha GX-1 and CS-80 are similar under the hood, the GX-1 is roughly equivalent to two complete CS-80's in one (real big) box.-
