Shot of 5 Yamaha CS80s sent the the CS80 list by Kent.
Check out these mods on one of them:"The knobs and sliders on the mod panel is the Dynamic Unison, Dimension C and Phase Shifter controls.
The Dynamic Unison is a auto switching mono to poly controller using the old on/off, chorus and tremolo buttons.
Then there is a Dimension C chorus/ensemble like the Boss CE1. These use the four silver buttons for the different fx amounts. And the on off is the old wha button.
The Phase Shifter is a four, eight and twelve stage unit with stepping and rise only and fall only.
Other mods on it include midi in ,through and out. Yes that's right midi out :)"
I asked, and yes, it does transmit poly-aftertouch.
Update via nkdent in the comments: "Well the Dimension C has those tiny silver buttons and is much more compact so I'd say he probably mounted the board for one inside. The history is that the Dimension D came first and the C is a budget but still guitar pedal version that's analog and comes pretty darn close. A big difference is the D has stereo or mono balanced ins and stereo outs. The C has only a mono in and a choice of mono or stereo outs and is unbalanced with a much tighter packed circuit board that's a fraction of the size of the D.
The settings are pretty similar (there is no variable speed on either, just presets of increasing intensity) though at least one is more different than the other 3 if you compare the 2."

ReplyDeleteI wonder when the last time 5 CS80s were all in one place at once was.
ReplyDeleteThe government should make a law against CS-80 hoarding like this!
ReplyDeleteYeah, throw all evil hoarders in jail! And confiscate their synths and give them to the piss poor complainers who wish they could be hoarders instead. YEAH!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteImpressive pic! (as long as there aren't a lot of birds or a sudden showers ;-)
ReplyDeleteMinor point, the Boss CE-1 isn't really much like the Dimension C (DC-3)
Anyone know the similarities/differences between the Dimension C pedal & the Dimension D rackmount unit?
