This is my second review for CS-80V, now on version 1.5
I'm Max , and I'm the guy who people at Arturia mentioned on their site, just to make things clear I tell you I didn't have any reward from my work and my collaboration was totally spontaneous.
The fact is I am a big fan of this instrument and I think it has far more flexibility than its hard counterpart, I helped the guys just about verifying some bugs etc and trying to make some closer presets.
What's this version like ? I want to say that the work has been done with more attention to some little nuances.
I'll save you the obvious describing of debug and improving work, you can read it as well on Arturia site.
The main fact is how this synth sounds.
My answer is : tremendously powerful : the new typical sawtooth has added a wonderful bandwith quality with an enhancement on higher harmonics, which is given by the little superimposed square , a unique character in the CS series signature sound; the "trimmers" facility in the About Box helps a lot in creating a faithful analog response.
The ringmodulator sounds absolutely spine-shivering and the Chorus/Tremolo, now built according the original design has given to effected sounds a fully original quality.
The second question is : does it sound like the CS-80?
My answer is : they miss just one step!!! I think the hardest work has been done and now there is only a "fine tuning" job to do , like implementing a Touch response feature more faithful to the original and make some little adjustments to Ch/Trem , Filters and for a lesser extent, envelopes.
I can nothing more than reccommend it to everybody who are in need for big and full of personality sound!Read Review
