Description

The Eighty is a groundbreaking virtual synthesizer inspired by the legendary CS-80. Recognized as one of the most iconic synthesizers of all time, the CS-80 was celebrated for its rich analog warmth and unmatched expressiveness.

XILS-Lab has meticulously recreated this timeless classic, enhancing it with modern features that expand its creative potential.

With 'The Eighty,' producers and musicians can harness the authentic sound of the CS-80, integrated with innovative tools like an advanced 2D mixer, extended arpeggiator, and zero-delay filters.

This instrument is a fusion of vintage character and forward-thinking design, making it perfect for creating lush pads, expressive leads, and rhythmic sequences.

The original CS-80 was famously embraced by legendary artists like Stevie Wonder and Vangelis, defining an era of synthesizer-based music.

With The Eighty, you can channel the same inspiration while leveraging modern enhancements.
Craft sweeping cinematic soundscapes, punchy basslines, or soaring leads with ease.

The combination of authentic presets and deep modulation options ensures limitless creative possibilities for producers and sound designers alike.

    Great - With slight reservation

    Starting with reservations discussed throughout the forums, for me the most annoying is the really bad readability of the toggle states. But having bought the synth strongly discounted and listening to it's sound, I have no choice but to give 5 stars.

    great cs-80 version, will mainly use that one soon

    Sounds really great, many presets do and I don't have time to create mine all the time except minor changes in delay/rev/mod, so I'll use that one more than my other sims.
