As most of you probably know, the CS-80 is among one of the iconic, desirable, and rare synthesizers ever created. When we received that email, our heads exploded…as I’m sure many of yours are right now. There are minute pitch and timing variations throughout the synth for an extremely realistic analog feel.” ![]() GX-80 plays like a nicely-calibrated CS-80. We have two CS-80s that we studied extensively, along with the original CS-80 schematics as well as the GX-1 schematics and service manual. We went to crazy lengths to match every last detail to the hardware, and it really does sound gorgeous. Additionally, each rank can be independently panned in stereo – you can imagine how amazing this can sound, with dual CS-80+GX-1 engines all panned in stereo.Īll of these features allow for absolutely massive sounds you’d never get out of a CS-80, or any other CS-80 emulation. The GX-1 features include a high-pass filtered square wave, band-pass filtered sawtooth wave, triangle wave one octave higher than the other waveforms, the ability to invert the filter envelope, and we’ve even included the unique GX-1 filter, which has a ton of character! In addition, as on the GX-1, you can layer two complete CS-80 voices (plus effects) together, or split them across the keyboard. We’ve included all the unique voice features of the Yamaha GX-1 organ that were cut out when they created the CS-80. Over a year in the making, GX-80 is our extensively circuit-modeled recreation of the Yamaha CS-80, but it goes far beyond the CS-80. “I present to you Cherry Audio’s GX-80 Synthesizer. ![]() Let’s use Dan’s own words to describe this project to you, the same way he told us about it via email: Craig and I mentioned the substantial following Cherry Audio has on MPN, and Dan suggested that it might be fun to let us help introduce the newest member of their growing family. I’m not sure Dan was ready for the shower of praise I heaped on his work…but I have no doubt that he knew that I meant everything I said. When I ran into Craig Anderton speaking with Cherry Audio founder Dan Goldstein at Synthplex 2022 last month, I had to stop and say hello. ![]() So, it’s understandable that when some buzz bubbles up about a new instrument being in the works, people pay attention-and the speculation begins. Whether doing on-target replicas of some of the most desirable synths of all time, or creating original instruments that add something new to any virtual instrument collection, this company shows what happens when you put together a team of hardcore synth enthusiasts who love what they do. They keep coming out with instruments that exceed expectations, at price points that are nothing short of remarkable. Cherry Audio has become an undisputed fan favorite in the world of virtual instruments-and with good reason.
