After obligatory question about Zach, we can finally proceed. Good review, guys! Love this format!
I agree about the tuning issues, on the occasions when I've used it on recordings I needed to go back into my DAW after the session and use some pitch modulation to get it in key. And the aftertouch is great, but it is actually quite difficult to master - you need to put in a lot of time with it to get anywhere near that Vangelis sound. I love the gritty vibe of it, but I would never want the hassle of maintaining it. Hope people keep doing cool stuff with them! I always love seeing CS videos
One life goal has to be getting close to a CS-80 and feel the keyboard and hear the sounds IRL. 😮
The amount of humans that get to touch a real one, it's almost like the Holy Grail!
Roland Perez is as if Zach was normal and bright.
black corp deckards dream, with the expander mk2 and a hydrasynth deluxe for midi control is a still expensive but at least realistic way to get the same mojo i suspect. still saving up for the deckards dream and expander mk2 so cant confirm. also i am impressed that table managed not to break holding it up haha
Ive had the fortune to play one many times and they are magic. It’s a shame your recording at the end was distorted and in need of compression.
The synth I’ve always lusted for you’re very lucky to have played this godly synth
I know you almost feel as if he got infinite youth just for touching it LOL
@@lorenmorgan1931 Ha! Love that.. i DID! Although the ol cs80 started slipping out of tune as i was playing it ( its a sensitive beast ), I was still in AWE! Hail the mighty 80!
@@RolandPerez-p7i Yeah I cant even imagine what a recap of one of those would take. On top of that all the natural circuit drift.
bro pronounces Vangelis correctly :)
HA! for sho.. i was schooled on proper van GEL isss way years ago. Lesson learned!
What tuner do you use in the video?
Looks like a Boss TU-3S 😀
@@sheateeley1 Yessir! Peterson Stobe was MIA.. had to do a quick tune right before the video.. Boss handled it pretty well!
@@RolandPerez-p7i I really enjoyed the video, btw. Great presentation!
