GLT Audio PM-80 Yamaha CS-80 MIDI Controller

via GLT Audio

For many musicians, owning a CS-80 synthesizer is a dream that’s out of reach - both financially and in terms of required maintenance. While today’s 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 GLT Audio created the “Poor Man’s CS-80” — the PM-80, featuring 75 dedicated faders and a ribbon controller, offering an inspiring hands-on experience.

75 silk-smooth faders

30 cm ribbon controller

6 high quality waveform toggle switches

Slim table-top metal enclosure

Well connected

Power and MIDI-out over USB-C

MIDI-out over 3.5mm jack

Expression pedal input (converts to MIDI)

CV and Gate out, assigned to the ribbon controller

Magnetic overlays to play other virtual instruments

Use cases
Map the PM-80 to your favorite CS-80 VST, such as Cherry Audio's GX-80, Softube's Model 77, Arturia's CS-80 V, Xils Lab's The Eighty, Morphoice's Unstable or Memorymoon ME80.
Use the PM-80 for other VSTs, by adapting it's parameters using magnetic labels.
Control a virtual audio mixer. (eg. 24 x level, 24 x pan, 27 faders for effects)
Control hardware directly in a DAWless setup, using the MIDI DIN output (even allowing SysEx on customized firmware).
Connect to your Eurorack: the ribbon controller outputs to CV and Gate.
As a powerful generic MIDI controller, the PM-80 can even be used for applications like DMX light control and VJing.
Product details

Delphium cover on RX5 and TX802

video upload by Collector Current

"In this video I show you how I made a cover of the Aphex Twin song 'Delphium' from the album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

Just like with my cover of 'Aegispolis', I used the Yamaha RX5 with custom samples loaded on an RX5USB board, and a Yamaha TX802 sequenced by the Roland MSQ-700.

Layered Synth Resonance in Cinematic Ambient Space | Geological Survey 2025-12-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"This piece was created using the ‪@YamahaSynthsOfficial‬ CS01.
It is a cinematic ambient composition built from layered, hand-played synthesizer tones that resonate and expand over time.

The CS01 is connected to the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MKII and blueSky.
On the MOOD MKII, delay is applied and micro-loop textures are generated, while the ‪@strymon‬ blueSky adds spacious reverb.

The performance is shaped in real time by manually adjusting the filter on the CS01 as it is played."

One of my favorite tracks from the late 70s.
Fool (If You Think It`s Over) by Chris Rea from the album Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? (1978)

I’m saddened...😞
His music has been the soundtrack of my life. I loved his melodies, I loved his lyrics, and I loved his voice. Driving Home for Christmas, On the Beach, and Josephine are timeless classics that I always turn up loud whenever I hear them on the radio.

I was fortunate enough to get an Amiga license record in 1988 after queuing for hours at the music shop. Holding one of the few records in my hands brought me so much joy, especially since Western music was only available under the counter in the GDR.
Rest in Peace, Chris. Your music will live on forever. Thank you.🌠

Secrets to Steve Porcaro’s Sound: The CS-80 & More

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"In this episode, I hang with Steve Porcaro for an up-close, hands-on look at the secrets behind his sound, with Toto and much more! Discover the musical thinking that shaped some of the most iconic synthesizer moments in pop history.
You’ll watch Steve perform on the legendary Yamaha CS-80, and demonstrate exactly why its polyphonic aftertouch changed everything. He shows how touch, phrasing, and pressure become part of the music itself, then recreates the iconic Africa brass sound, breaking down how it was programmed and performing it right before our eyes. We also pause to honor David L. Abell and Clark Spangler, two essential figures in synthesizer history whose whose work helped bring instruments like the CS-80 into the spotlight
Along the way, Steve shares stories from working with David Paich and David Foster, and how his collaborations shaped their sound. You’ll also see a beautiful portamento and glissando demonstration tied to "After the Love Has Gone" by Earth, Wind & Fire and 'Serious Music' by Hall & Oates, revealing how Steve approached expressive movement on the keyboard.
Steve then breaks open his 'go-to' CS-80 panel settings and shows how he used them on 'Rosanna' and 'Mama' by Toto, offering a rare look at the real-world musical decisions behind those songs.
Finally, Steve and I talk about the true secret sauce behind so many signature songs from the ’80s and ’90s, from Toto and beyond—the attention to detail, musical sensitivity, and collaboration between specialists, all working selflessly in service of a great song.
This is a rare, in-the-room masterclass with one of the great musical minds of our time."

12/10-19/25 Metasonix D-2000 + Make Noise Maths + Roland SH-101 + Gieskes Starving Binary + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

"12/10-19/25 Metasonix D-2000 + Make Noise Maths + Roland SH-101 + Gieskes Starving Binary + Alesis MIDIVERB II + Peavey 1310 + Yamaha EM-100 + DBX 119 + ElectroComp EML 200

This was a test from earlier this month of a rack we installed above the Metasonix D-2000. There are two Make Noise Maths and a Gieskes Starving Binary triggering the D-2000. The D-2000 is heard as is, but it is also heard through the DBX 119, which gates the signal, and also gates a drone from the ElectroComp EML 200, which is fed through the DBX 119 at the same time. The Roland SH-101 is played manually, through a Peavey 1310 delay into a Yamaha EM-100 mixer, with the preamps cranked up and the internal spring reverb on. Everything has some Alesis MIDIVERB II."
