Yamaha CS80 vs Arturia CS-80V vs Cherry Audio GX-80 – Ultimate Sound Comparison!

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"Yamaha CS80 vs. Modern Clones: Arturia CS-80V and Cherry GX-80 – Ultimate Sound Comparison!

Join me as I dive deep into the world of the iconic Yamaha CS80 and its modern VST emulations, the Arturia CS-80V and Cherry GX-80. The CS80 is a favorite of mine due to its intuitive design, unmatched keyboard action, and aftertouch. However, its rarity, size, and cost can make it less practical for everyday use.

In this video, I compare these legendary synths to see if the virtual versions can faithfully replicate the unique sound and feel of the real CS80. The video includes various sections such as:

Famous CS80 Riffs - Hear classics like Toto's "Africa," Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA," and George Benson's "In Your Eyes" played on all three synths.

Oscillator Breakdown - Detailed exploration of the individual oscillators.

Factory Presets - A look at the original CS80 and emulation presets.

Pitch Bend Slide Bar - A comparison of each synth's pitch bending capabilities.

Programming Bell Sounds - Learn how to craft bell sounds using sine waves and the CS80’s legendary ring modulator.

Raw Sound Analysis - Exclusive segments featuring dry, raw sounds without any effects.

Summary and Verdict - I conclude with a summary of which synth stands out, both as the ultimate synth and best plug-in version.

Locks 🔐 (Elektron Digitone + Rmx500 // Korg Minilogue Xd + Strymon Deco // ARP2600m + Eventide H90)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"The center piece of this jam is the Elektron Digitone (fed into the Pioneer RMX-500 effect) which is playing the DRUM part + some FM synth sequences (a lot of automation/p-locks and probability sequencing used here 😉) and sequencing with its 4 MIDI tracks, the bassline played by the Korg Arp 2600 M (through the Eventide H90).
The Korg Minilogue XD is being used in standalone mode here, sequencing and playing the CHORDS.

A few tricks featured here:
I used the 4 MIDI tracks of the Digitone to sequence the bassline on the ARP 2600 M. Thus each MIDI track is playing a different pattern, which makes it easy to switch between 4 patterns ;)
I used the ROLL effect of the RMX-500 to loop a part of the audio coming from the Digitone (which led to the four-on-the-floor part)
The Minilogue XD can only play one sequence per sound. I switched from the POLY mode (for the CHORD part) to the UNISON mode (for the LEAD part), giving the impression that 2 different sequences are being played consecutively."

HERE COMES THE SUN played on Sequential OB 6

video upload by OlTo

"When listening to older synth-featuring albums like Abbey Road, it becomes apparent, that the older the music the simpler the synth patches. And if you have a fine instrument like the OB6, it's sometimes best to just dial up a waveform with a tiny bit of modulation (or wobble from a Space Echo) and play your favourite tunes.

Here comes the sun is in the repertoire of my Band Apache Rizz and we've been working on this tune (which I don't think the Beatles would have ever been able to perform live, due to it's odd metrics) ;-)"

Clatters Machines Introduces EXP-FX, il Sole e la Luna (Sibilla expander)

video upload by Clatters Machines

"EXP-FX, Il Sole e la Luna (eg. The Sun and the Moon) is a 6HP expansion module for Sibilla, aiming to let you admire the same panorama under two different glows.

Depending on the Sibilla uploaded firmware, EXP-FX can either act as an actual Sibilla expander, giving you direct control on more Sibilla’s parameters, or can turn your module into and effect, allowing you to process your favourite oscillator the same way Sibilla processes its internal waveforms.

EXP (il Sole)
Expands your Sibilla by giving you more control on the internal AR envelope and filter resonant frequency.

FX (la Luna)
With configurable eurorack/line stereo inputs, turns your Sibilla into an intricate stereo pitch shifting delay effect. Split your incoming sound in two separate pitch shifted tracks whose stereophony is affected by LFOs movements, white noise, delay lines and sampled bits of audio."

Press release follows:


Clatters Machines announces availability of EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) as Eurorack expander module for Sibilla stereo digital oscillator

SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, ITALY: small town lovers of music and electronic instruments Clatters Machines is proud to announce availability of its EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) — latterly translated (into English) as the Sun and the Moon, marketed as a 6HP Eurorack expander module for its Sibilla stereo digital oscillator (that translates the beauty and harshness of a semi-barren mountain into a 10HP Eurorack module that sculpts sound with various saw and sine waves running through intricate delay networks altered by LFOs — Low Frequency Oscillators — and white noise to create constructive and destructive interferences, enabling ever-evolving soundscapes that can be both droning and/or melodic in nature) to allow anyone to use this majestic modular pairing in two different ways, depending on the uploaded firmware — as of November 15…

Same panorama under different glows. With wonderfully evocative words like those framing Clatters Machines’ concept of being able to see the same panorama — in this case, the mountain of Sibilla that lends its name to the small town lovers of music and electronic instruments’ much-loved Eurorack module — under different lights and shadows, EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) literally sounds interesting. Indeed, depending on the uploaded Sibilla firmware, it can either act as an actual Sibilla expander — enabling direct control over more of that module’s parameters — or a stereo pitch-shifting drone effect — enabling users to process an external oscillator in the same way that Sibilla processes its internal waveforms.

Digging deeper, the EXP firmware adds more control of Sibilla’s internal AR (Attack Release) envelope and filter resonant frequency. For instance, it is possible to transition from long release droning pads to crazy and noisy percussive sounds as a result of this.

The FX firmware, for its part, turns the Sibilla-plus-EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) modular pairing into an intricate stereo pitch-shifting drone effect, effectively splitting the incoming sound into two separate pitch-shifted tracks whose stereophony is affected by the movements of the LFOs, multiple instances of white noise, delay lines, and sampled bits of audio. Thanks to the configurable Eurorack/line stereo inputs, it is possible to process an external oscillator, instrument, or sample in the same way that Sibilla processes its internal waveforms — by creating an intricate network of pitch-shifted delay lines, freezing them, and looping them, thereby creating a complex architecture of resonant frequencies and pitch-shifted audio tracks moving through the stereophonic field, in other words.

'As an intricate and evolving drone machine, Sibilla has been a major inspiration for both us as musicians and also many customers — couldn’t be prouder of this.” So states Clatters Machines Co-founder, engineer, electronic designer Michelangelo Nasso, before delving into the enticing EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) backstory by way of ending with some wonderfully evocative words of his own: “As a result of product showcases at festivals and fairs where we chatted with musicians, friends, and customers, we started wondering how well-known oscillators and instruments would have sounded if processed in the same way that Sibilla does with its internal waveforms; we realised at the same time that Sibilla would not be complete without more control over basic elements such as its internal envelope, so we decided to combine two ideas for two new expander modules into a single unit — namely, EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna), a ‘dual’ expander that allows Sibilla to be used in two different ways... like looking at the same mountain under different tones and glows.'

EXP-FX (il Sole e la Luna) is available worldwide — with a choice of silver- or black-coloured aluminium front panels — from Clatters Machines’s growing global network of retailers (https://clattersmachines.com/retailers-3/) or directly via its online Store (https://clattersmachines.com/shop/) for €164.00 EUR (plus VAT, if applicable).
