The legendary Yamaha CS-80 (1975) synthesizer is heard in the music of Vangelis, ABBA, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Paul, McCartney, Hans Zimmer. For many musicians, owning this iconic instrument is a dream that’s out of reach - both financially (€60.000+) and in terms of required maintenance. While today’s software-based (VST) replicas sound remarkably close, the true spirit of the CS-80 only comes alive when you have all controls at your fingertips. That’s why we created the “Poor Man’s CS-80” — the PM-80, featuring 75 dedicated faders and a ribbon controller, offering an inspiring hands-on experience. This is a project I initiated, and is in development by GLT Audio. Go to the website for more information.
