"I use mainly PCs, running Steinberg’s Cubase 6.5. My audio IO is a RME fireface. I just added a Dangerous Music D-Box to my setup so I’m finally enjoying the advantages of summoning mixing. Before the audio goes back into my DAW, I run everything through my Obsidian Compressor. It’s a simple but solid and good-sounding chain. I still use real keyboards, like the Korg MS2000, Korg Prophecy, Juno-106 and I’ve used a real CS-80 for my score on Mass Effect 3. I love the newer, more experimental synths like the OP-1 and all of the synths from Dave Smith. There are tons of other hardware gems I use, like Metasonix pedals and the Moog Froggers to name a few."

Used for the 1980 Doctor Who theme, as is visible in this video at 1:44 and as reported by Mark Ayres here.

The bass line was created in a manner not totally removed from the original, with the sound, performed on Peter's beloved Yamaha CS80 synthesiser, assembled across two tracks of multitrack tape. This finished part was then run off onto quarter-inch tape, flipped over, and rerecorded through effects onto another reel to give each note a subtle pre-echo. The final effect was dubbed back to the multitrack.

Other instruments employed included the ARP Odyssey (used for the opening line of the melody), the EMS Vocoder (used to build the complex texture voicing the answering phrase in the main melody), and the Roland Jupiter 4 (set to auto-arpeggiate in octaves, it provided the sound for the middle eight). The chordal parts were created by layering the Jupiter 4 with the CS80.

This listed the synthesizers of the radiophonic workshop back in 1985.

The two Macs are interfaced to the outside world with two Opcode Studio 3 units and a Studio 5. Hague has plenty of sound sources to drive with these. There's an M3R, a DX7II, two rack-mounted Roland Super Jupiter modules (with programmers), a Roland JD800, DS50 and U220, a Korg Wavestation A/D, and an Akai/Linn MPC60, plus a few oldies. Amongst the latter are a Korg MS12, his original Yamaha CS80, and an Oberheim OB8.

interview with Tommy Mars:

TM: That was kind of a strange thing with the Polyphonic E-mu portamento, how it would logically go from one note to another. That’s another great thing about the CS-80, how it approached the Portamento, that’s quite a sophisticated process, you know. Portamento when you’re dealing with polyphony; it’s weird enough anyway when it’s just a monophonic axe but with polyphony, as a player you have to adjust to the time involved with it.

'I also have a Yamaha CS80 that I used to use on stage, but the roadies didn't appreciate it too much. I still drag it out in the studio every once in a while, though, because there are one or two things it still does well.'

Used on Visage's 1980 self-titled album, according to a 1984 interview with Electronic Soundmaker & Computer Music.

We used everything on that album. We had a GS2, two Yamaha grands, two ARP Odysseys about three Yamaha string synths, a CS80 and a Minimoog.
