CS-80V Tutorial - Guide to Every Feature (Blade Runner Example)

[@m.g.kroger]

Very clear explanation and design. Sometimes you make changes and do not play a reference note to hear what you did.

[@bitspacemusic]

I finally started digging into this confusing plug-in. Thanks for this.

[@Xaero188]

That was very informative (yet fairly straightforward) and super helpful. Thank you so much!

[@Lasse_Viklund]

Vangelis beautiful compositions is the main reason to why it sounds so good!

[@presetreveal]

It's great to see how you've explored the various features and functions of this amazing software suite, and your examples really showcased the range of sounds that can be created with it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us, and keep up the great work!

[@Adrian351]

I've been trying to set those knobs for months!! Damn, so fat in the low end. Thanks very much!!

[@darrenhirst9900]

Listening to that synth is like taking a sedative its so relaxing and so is this tutorial. Digiphex Electronics thank you sir.

[@ivanmay7890]

I also remember Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac used this synthesiser on "All For Everyone" from Tusk in 1979

[@TheValueOfN]

I was left wanting to hear how the sound changed after each change of all of those parameters. I'm just happy that I now own the CS-80 V and I'm able to try to recreate the exquisite sounds from Blade Runner. This is the first vid that I'm watching on my quest to master this beast of a synth.

[@TheValueOfN]

(Note to self) Pause 12:50 for a snapshot of all the knobs and faders.

[@Digiphex]

I hope you master it. What other kinds of video would you like to see on my channel?

[@TheValueOfN]

@@Digiphex I'd appreciate watching similar vids about all of the synth VSTs that I own. All of the Arturia V Collection 9 synths are perfect examples.

[@astrogerry]

Wow ... wow ... this is a great example... (it's a pleasure watching again this video) Thanks for sharing and ... a SUPER like !! (I really love Blade Runner ...)

[@marshalsea000]

All Hail DigiPhex!!! More explanation please - I think I've learnt more about synths watching this in bloody years! The 1 - Feet - 2 pipes bit alone was brilliant.

[@MePeterNicholls]

Would have liked to hear more as you altered individual knobs

[@ZethKeeper]

Man, those faders have reflections on them! Wow.

[@rubenrojano78]

I wish you could someday update this tutorial to the new version of the Arturia plugin. Its amaizing! It certanly is the best tutorial for the sound out there. Thanks

[@robertbright947]

The Arturia CS-80V is a software only synthesizer - so what did you use for a keyboard (which I guess is also the MIDI controller?)

[@Digiphex]

The DeepMind and I mentioned in there what I used and that it has aftertouch and how this is connected with features of the CS-80V.

[@robertbright947]

Thanks - I heard it but didn’t realize what you were referring to -

[@saysthetedd]

Fantastic explanation.

[@updown5238]

Great video mate, loved it and you nail the Vangelis sound :)

[@updown5238]

Thanks.

[@skrie]

Great :D Thanks to the wonders of modern technology we have learned to operate machinery we''ll probably never see in our lifetime. I'm praying for Behringer to make that clone. I don't have the Arturia plugin, but I have the Memorymoon ME80. The ME80 sounds a little better to my ears, but I don't know what a real CS80 sounds like... appart from all my Vangelis records.

[@codymcgrew4015]

Great video! Do you think you could do this for Wire’s 154 album??

[@sublow]

fantastic walkthrough thank you

[@drsamurai009]

One more note as a comment lifted from GForce Software’s Dave Spiers, ALWAYS run a CS-80(V) with reverb ;) Otherwise, really nice walk thru. I always think of Jack Black when I read the controls at the far right for velocity and AT control. Totally Brill!

[@jamesontravis8301]

You all probably dont care but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!

[@cannontoby7273]

@Jameson Travis instablaster =)

[@jamesontravis8301]

@Cannon Toby Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jamesontravis8301]

@Cannon Toby It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@cannontoby7273]

@Jameson Travis you are welcome =)

[@kevinsturges6957]

That actually sounds really good.

[@kristianborisov5928]

Hello! Thank you for the video! I have your patches collection for the DeepMind, and those are among the best available. You have a Blade Runner patch there as well, it's even in the demo on KZbin, and I can compare them online. How would you compare them offline - which one is closer to your opinion? Currently Arturia has again a great discount for the V collection, and I am trying to figure out whether I really need.

[@Digiphex]

Sorry for the delay. I think the CS-80 V is much closer but I could get 80% of the way there with the DeepMind had I used the aftertouch. I don't think I made use of it I can't remember and also making use of both the low and high pass of the DM. I should revisit that patch and improve it!

[@kristianborisov5928]

@@Digiphex Thank you, kind of late as well :)

[@DennisCaunce]

Thanks for this. I don't own a CS80 or an emulator, but I was able to use this to get a good enough sound out of Alchemy in Logic!

[@Digiphex]

Yeah, two nice saws out of phase goes a long way toward it.

[@DennisCaunce]

@@Digiphex the vintage saw waves are nice. I’ve also just discovered Vital synth. You can get some very nice sounds out of that. Plus it’s free.

[@MartinJovanovic]

Good video indeed, just make sure you be 1080 in 2020

[@KristerNielsen]

Would love to know what effects you used with this preset. Is it reverb only?

[@Digiphex]

Ableton reverb.

[@Luis_Stereo]

Hey men! For some strange reason, I have the CS-80V3 and it doesn't give me the option to create a new project, do I have any idea if there is another option to create a new project other than sea from that label? because when starting the vst, I directly select a preset called "Ion Storm"

[@BridgeFazio]

yeah same here - don't know what the base filter is - it gives me no options.

[@TheStudioDrummer]

This was a helpful, overall look at the functions and features- thanks!

[@EP65]

Legit owner, still need time to get in. Thanks✌️

[@daslama731]

thank you very much! great tutorial

[@djponygirl]

I am having the hardest time replicating the pitch shift in the beginning example, it’s the last note at the end that fades out?

[@Digiphex]

You can use your pitch bend wheel on your MIDI controller keyboard or else use your mouse with the long strip on the VST UI.

[@magicknight8412]

Interesting and good to learn about the different knobs and settings, but for creating the patch its confusing as the settings seem to change between cuts.maybe a final step by step would be good

[@TheStudioDrummer]

Same for me. It was fun trying to follow along. I noticed at 11:17 that the 1 and 2 Yellow preset buttons were in and tried that and got a similar sound. I also tried manually copying every slider as seen around this same time with (yellow buttons un-clicked) and got different results. There is a look at all the settings at 12:48. Experimental learning! :^()

[@TimMoorez]

Would you be able to recreate this with the changes they have made with v4? It is significantly different and unable to accuratly folow along anymore.

[@Digiphex]

Yes it is almost exactly the same.

[@TimMoorez]

@@Digiphex The layout is now an exact replica of the original CS80 so all of the HP, LP, Link buttons have been removed. Trying to recreate this on V4 and am not able to get the exact sounds out of it so far. Do you remember if this was running through a reverb in your DAW? Thank you for your quick response.

[@Digiphex]

@@TimMoorez No it still has high pass and low pass filter. The link was just a way to get both layers on the same settings. So to duplicate my patch, somewhere in the video I say here is the completed patch, just copy this, so you will copy those settings I have on layer I to both layers I and II. The main idea of the patch is to detune one of the two saw waves a bit and you will hear the classic phasing of the CS-80, then to use the aftertouch pressure to get some LFO wobble and high pass a bit if you want. A very simple patch that you can tune by ear to sound like Blade Runner. I don't remember where the reverb is from, yes probably from Ableton.

[@zeeeman8744]

Great video, thanks !

[@renemensing8249]

Very nice try you let it sound like Vangelis Blade runner however you miss a very important synth element that is the Roland VP-330 Plus for the strings and the "vocoder"

[@mortarmopp3919]

Would suggest using some sort of cursor enhancement when not zoomed in. Make it bigger or contrasting color or a highlight effect, etc.

[@snoopdoggdankkush9285]

Aye I have this VST (: Can u make more videos on the Arturia V Collection since their ain't a ot of videos on it. If u don't have it thats cool (: I'll still watch your channel (: Ur content is dope (:

[@aniketsharma9155]

Yup. Need more video on the collection

[@jimgravesus]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@seanseanseanseansean]

Do you know which popular songs were created with this instrument?

[@Digiphex]

seanseanseanseansean Wonderful Christmastime is a quintessential one.

[@chikotud]

Billie Jean

[@DasKreestof]

Toto's Africa

[@dalemoore8553]

You can use the wonderful Hydrasynth to create the same sound.

[@Flashback_Jack]

THICC. This sounds huge!

[@YodiorMusic]

Hello, is it possible to use this with Cubase, and how? Thak you!

[@eljulogaming7515]

you have to purchase arturia v collection 7, select the cs 80 in your vst folder, and play with your midi keyboard :)

[@fairman23]

I'm trying to figure out how to recreate the sequencer from Candy-O by The Cars. I have a BassStation 2. Do you have any suggestions on how to go about programming that sound?

[@Digiphex]

Sounds like a simple saw wave but you could put a short envelope time on it and sounds like it has a delay on it.

[@fairman23]

Digiphex Electronics Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.

[@BOB_T]

Very good patch

[@alexpiano2628]

Man is it a fake? it sounds exactly like a real CS80 at the start. Is it really the sound of the vsti?

[@MitchHowes]

Good point. Would like to hear it performed on the software keyboard?

[@martinvigo8589]

Excelente sonido loco.

[@clisthanler]

First off, nice work. That is one of the most seductive sounds. What was playing the backing pad, the DM12? Do you have that patch or tutorial available, if so? I have a DM12 and was thinking of selling it in favor of the fantom I have. I got close to your patch on the fantom but it takes a lot more screwing around to make it perfect. I wish the Fantom had the modulation schema of the DM12 (and all the effects as well). As you know, the DM12 allows you to layer them all on top of each other, maybe that's a bad thing, ha!

[@Digiphex]

Thanks. I don't recall what I was using here but the Fantom should be able to do it easily. I think I could do the entire Blade Runner soundtrack using only the Fantom. I used to have the 88 key version some years ago but it probably hasn't changed much, except now I think you can model the classic Roland synths.

[@BSpazTs]

Awesome

[@R0ttiger]

Thank you!

[@vr4ever645]

Holy mother of god! Subbed.

[@ascensionrecordings]

Great video thanks so much... I'd love to see more arturia plugins on here

[@retepskate8476]

awesome

[@MageAtYou]

How did you get 11:15 so smooth? I followed everything you did twice yet my sound goes PJAAuwww with a very sharp beginning, while yours goes wwwaaa like silk. so frustrating, is my synth broken?

[@Digiphex]

Perhaps there are not 2 saw waves both running through 1 filter with LINK button? About 12:15 I show all settings. Just make sure that is what you have. It won't be a sharp beginning because you can see the A slider (attack) is almost halfway up. Down would be a short and sharp attack like you are saying, and up is long attack very smooth. Probably 1/2 of your signal runs through the II section filter because you don't have the LINK button on?

[@lungind]

Hi. Did you try AN1x? How it compared with microkorg?

[@Digiphex]

Yes. The AN1x is very thin sounding. I would rather have the original MicroKORG.

[@lungind]

@Neb6 yeah. i was a bit confused to hear that microkorg sounds better. lots of musicians said that an1x is one of the best VA synths.

[@2floor2day59]

Great video! The only problem is that you demonstrated using software. Without how cheap this synth is I'm not sure why you wouldn't just pick one up for this video.

[@DasKreestof]

Finding a working CS80 is a difficult task. There aren't many of them, and if they need repair, the custom chips are also extremely rare. One replacement chip can cost about $1000. If you are lucky you might be able to pick up a Yamaha CS80 for $22,000.

Timbre is pronounced 'tam-ber'.

Timbre is a French word and I learned about it in France and they were saying what would sound you you like tom-bgra. So that is how I still say it.

[@JanPBtest]

The chords (harmony) underneath need more work.

[@JanPBtest]

@@Digiphex t wasn't meant to be relevant, actually. It was meant just to be a comment.

[@stevenbliss989]

Is this a blatant knock of the Yamaha CS-80??? or is this a Yamaha unit???
