In case you haven’t noticed, I’m full on excited about this synth. At first I had my doubts, as the Moog Modular V was the virtual analog centerpiece of my studio. But the CS-80V has made me a true believer in its distinctive voice. Whether for studio or live use, you would be hard pressed to find a more responsive or expressive synthesizer. Of course, this newfound power does not come cheap, as the CS-80V can be very CPU intensive. But I consider its sonic potential to be more than worth it – and I am not alone. When reading up on the accolades collected on the Arturia website, I was struck by a quote from Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Hans Zimmer: “I just sold my Yamaha GX1 because I have a great replacement with Arturia's CS-80V.” That pretty much sums it up. For a well thought-out analog emulation that takes its musical capability several leaps forward, look no further than Arturia’s CS-80V.

I was really impressed by the depth of sound - there are sooooo many controls to deal with... it took a bit to get used to the layout, but it is true to the original in that regard :) Also, a bit of a CPU hog - but it's sound is really lush and worth it.

The CS80V is a great synth if you want the classic analogue sounds, more powerful than the Minimoog V and Prophet 53 and easier to tweak out than the Moog Modular V (all, also good VST synths). If you only want or can afford one this is a great choice. Highly recommended.
