"I've just recorded two short demos with the String Filter prototype.
First one is a fast Arpeggio from the OB-8, first dry, and then with String Filter switched on and off, and Resonance altered: link
Second one is a String-like OB-8 sound, made more string-like with the String Filter :) Switched on and off between phrases, to display the difference: link
Note: Unlike the older sample, the above has *no* Cello pre-equalization (yet)!
String Filter web page is also updated (with the two new samples and pictures of the prototype)
"lots of fat sounds and unique after touch keyboard that can trigger 1/4 tones. the 2 Cool joysticks add multi-dimensional control. one to control pitch, noise and vibrato. the second joystick to edit the low-pass and hi-pass VCF filters! There is also an "Effect" section which is for Vibrato, Portamento, Sample and Hold, Noise, Key Hold, Multiple Trigger and Ring Modulator (each with it's own rotary control to vary it's sound). Even though it has a switch labelled "Ring Mod," it's actually a cross-mod. It lets you cross modulate between the instrument and Synth sections."
"Vintage late 70's Yamaha CS-80 Polyphonic Synth serial number 1096"
The image below is the patch memory for the CS80. It literally is four mini versions of the panel controls. You can select them via the patch buttons on the synth. The CS60 has one.
Remember the Leipzig? It looks like a keyboard version is coming. Note the rack version is currently in stock. via Analog Solutions.
