My first introduction to music was piano lessons at Yamaha Music School in 1977, which was attached to their local piano showroom. I remember the first day the synthesizers appeared, all Yamahas of course, on stands next to the Yamaha grand pianos. I had never seen a keyboard synth before, they seemed so exotic. We were encouraged to experiment with them before and after classes. They seemed fun, but because they only used presets, and those presets were all named after traditional instruments WHICH THEY SOUNDED NOTHING LIKE, I was actually very disappointed at first. It would still be a loooong time before I learned to appreciate electronic music, and now I really kick myself for not identifying the potential and getting in on the basement floor. The industry really set stupid expectations by trying to market these instruments as electronic proxies of traditional instruments. I guess the point is I remember those Yamaha buttons and sliders very well, I goofed off for many hours with them and I can still remember what they felt like, I just wish I realized what I was playing with at the time.

I once visited a storage area in the basement of a former factory. It had lots of old synthesisers on display on shelves, but only a few that were plugged in for people to play on a day it was open to the public. There was a Roland Juno 6 or 60 on which I played the Scarface tune, but that was almost it. They did not have a CS 80 though, because this synthesiser was not mass produced. By the way I could hear the aging sound of the analog circuits whilst playing that Juno synth, especially when it came to ADSR and volume control. Ah yes, the magic of analog synths that need to be maintained to be optimal

I had to double check this video is from 2019. Guy looks like he is straight from the 90's and he is playing synth from the 70's.

Great video, iconic synth. That stand is totally inadequate!

I’ve played and listened to a lot of synths, but hadn’t heard a CS-80 be ‘showcased’ before. This is fr the best sounding and most dynamic synth I’ve ever heard. When I first read about the price tag, as always, being cynical, I thought it was simply a supply & demand issue. I didn’t expect anything that stood out immensely. I did not expect to get this blown away.

Goosebumps, your demo is amazing. The sounds are so cool and atmospheric. By the way your collab with Hainbach was great.

Great sound, great keys! Hello from the audiofund from Ukraine! in the history of synthesizer construction in the USSR, there was nothing of the kind, our technology was very far behind foreign, and when in Japan and other countries there were already such great synthesizers, in the USSR they were just starting to make simple keys on factories for the general consumer. In some devices you can find similar ideas, for example, switchable analog presets. There are interesting and great sounding devices among our devices, but the fact that it was then that abroad abroad still looks like a fantasy.
