more textured than the arturia cs80v3

ive put this one side by side to the arturia cs80 and i just feel like its more musical, more consistent with the bladerunner sound, more fun/inspiring to play. The CS80 is an amazing synth and to be able to recreate some of those sweet, sweet lonely space tones is absolutely delightful

Great CS-80 emu

It’s great for making synthwave style beats. Vangelis would be proud that someone made this. There are several nice patches, like brass and string pads. I use this one less often, but when I do I always manage to get a good sound out of it.
