Synthbits: Hands-on Demonstration of the CS-80
Once again we revisit one of the legendary synthesizers from Yamaha, the CS-80. Check out this great video from musicradar.com for this week's Synthbits.
This hands-on demonstration of the CS-80 features Simon Arblaster from Musicradar.com and Joe Rossiter from Future Music. They give one of the best overviews we've ever seen, and they do it with a mint-condition CS-80 that we would LOVE to get our hands on too! Click here to check out this great presentation!
