Since its launch in 1976, the CS-80 is still considered one the fattest sounding analog synths on the planet. With its 8-voice polyphony (with two independent synthesizer layers per voice), split functionality, patch memory storage and polyphonic aftertouch it was a real powerhouse (but also weighed like one).

In addition to playing a pivotal role in Vangelis's classic soundtrack for Bladerunner it has been used by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Jean Michel Jarre, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Brian Eno and Toto.
