CS-80 V is Arturia's version of the Yamaha CS-80, often called one of the greatest polyphonic synthesizers ever made and famous for its film-score pads and expressive keyboard. The software keeps the dual-layer architecture and ribbon-style performance feel of the original, while making the instrument practical to own and use on a Mac.

Key Features

  • Detailed recreation of the Yamaha CS-80 polyphonic synthesizer
  • Two synth layers with their own oscillators, filters and envelopes
  • Expressive performance controls suited to pads and evolving sounds
  • Rich chorus-style character associated with classic CS-80 records
  • Large preset library, standalone mode and VST, AU and AAX formats
