Product Reviews for Arturia CS80V CS 80 Emulator VSTi (Macintosh and Windows)
Feature: The Multi-mode and matrix-mod sections are great enhancements to the original...and don't detract from the feel of the original if you don't wish to use them.
Quality: My only genuine complaint about the product is nothing terribly new to software... a few little buggy things that could use some working out.. and in fairness, Arturia seem decent in their support for fixes/upgrades. I give a '7' because bugs are still bugs...
Value: This thing sounds so good I use it almost exclusively right now in projects. I have an MS-20 and MS-50 combo but am preferring my CS-80v at the moment. When you consider what you get for the price of say, a casio keyboard this thing is in my opinion hands down the best value on the synth market today. If your 'puter is strong enough this thing can *easily* fill all of your analog polysynth needs
Desirability: softsynths just keep getting sexier and sexier... where's it gonna stop???
Sound: This things sounds damn awesome. I used to play a bit on a CS50 and CS60 (though only once on the original CS80..and that was YEARS ago) Arturia have nailed the 'feel' and sound of the machine.
Support: No opinion
Overall: Anything else I get will be supplemental. The CS-80v will be my main analog synth for some time...but then, I was always a sucker for the Vangelis sound... :-)
