Every way the CS70M is BETTER than the Yamaha CS-80!

Many people do not know about this rare, vintage synthesizer, the “update“ to the greatest analog polysynth of all time. The CS70m was Yamaha’s last chance to capture the analog synthesizer market before they went all in with digital synthesizers like the DX7. Today there are less than 1,000 that have survived. I think this synthesizer should be considered as legendary as the Roland Jupiter 8, Juno 106, Sequential Prophet 5 and Oberheim OB-X. It’s older sibling, the Yamaha CS-80, was championed by Vangelis, who wrote and performed the score to Blade Runner. ►VINTAGE DRUM SAMPLES: ►FREE CHORUS / REVERB PLUGIN: ► Vintage Standards Reverb Page: # CORRECTIONS: “CS“ actually stands for Combo Synth. 0:00 Intro Jam 1:06 Stereo Oscillator / Channel / Binaural Output 2:25 Polyphonic Sequencer 5:51 Unison Mode Splits 7:10 Switchable Filter (Highpass, Bandpass Lowpass) 9:21 Time X 5 (ADSR Multiplier) 10:31 2 LFO’s 11:23 Dynamic LFO (Rate Changes Over Time) 11:52 Dynamic Filter FM 12:23 Sample Hold LFO 12:41 Glide and - (Positive Negative Pitch Modulation) 13:29 Pulse Width Envelopes 14:29 6-Stage Envelopes (Combining Envelopes) 15:00 Ring Mod as a Mod Source (Ring Mod PWM?!) 15:31 Ring Mod to Filter FM 16:15 Pulse Width Through Zero 16:59 Pitch Wheel in Intervals (3rd, 5th, Octave) 17:45 Stereo LFO Effects (Mod Wheel Routable) 18:26 Aftertouch to LFO VCA Modulation 19:04 Ensemble with 3 Bucket Brigade Delays (Roland VP-330 sounds) 19:32 Tremolo Button Adjusts Slowly Changes Speed 20:01 Fully Editable Digital Patch Memory! 21:02 LA Synthesis ala D-50 JX-10 21:41 No Leaking Batteries! 22:20 Save Patches to Magnetic Cards! 22:46 Auto-tune Button 23:18 1/3rd The Weight! 23:55 CV Trigger and Gate Out 24:15 3 Expression Pedal Inputs (Modulation, Volume, Brilliance) 25:18 Variable Sustain Slider 25:45 VCF Level Slider Removed (Redundant) 26:08 PRICE 26:34 Cons 26:42 Polyphonic Aftertouch 27:32 Ribbon Controller 28:11 No Velocity or Keyboard Tracking 29:11 Shared Channel Controls 30:14 6 Bitimbral Voices 30:52 LFO Intensity Not Mixable Between Sources 32:16 Subtle Vibrato is Impossible 33:47 Filter Stepping (ADSR LFO are smooth) 34:43 No Aftertouch to Brilliance 35:54 Ensemble Tremolo are Mono 37:16 Single Filter per voice 37:54 Ring Mod only affects Channel I 40:14 No Reverse Saw LFO Shape 41:12 CS-80 History 41:47 CS70M History 43:00 Conclusion #vst #vstplugins #synth #synths #vintagesynth #synthesizer #analogsynth #musicproduction #sounddesign #keyboardsounds #vintagesynthesizer #analogsynthesizer #synthwave #electronicmusic #musictechnology #freepresets #omnisphere #ericpersing #roland #yamaha #cs80 #cs70m #arturia #behringer #vangelis #bladerunner #Cherryaudio #gx80 #CS80V #DS80
