A CS-80 for Christmas

This was a great Christmas surprise, Memorymoon has released ME-80, a soft synth modelled after the legendary Yamaha CS-80. I'm definitely gonna check it out, and see if it beats the great Arturia CS-80v, one of my favourite soft synths. This is what Memorymoon says about the new ME80:

"The sound of ME80 will remind you of an acoustic instument. It sounds synthetic, but has the expression of a real instrument.  You can shape the tone with aftertouch like you would do on a brass instrument. The velocity feels very alive with a seperate velocity-envelope that took 1 year to develop. Different velocities will have totally different envelope shape. If you want arpeggiators on this synth you do not deserve to play it. The instrument takes practice to master, like a real instrument. Polyphonic aftertouch is supported, but you can select "last played" mode for the aftertouch, and you will have fake polyphonic response from your mono aftertouch keyboard."

Check out ME80 here!

I Have Synth

Biography: 

Been into synthesizers for 15 years, but never a technical geek. I'm a member of the band Velours Perfect, and have had electronic music as a hobby since I stopped playing with G.I Joe Figures. I buy and sell synths all the time, sometimes manically, and my favourite synth varies, right now it is the Alesis Ion. On this blog you can read about whatever comes out of my mind, mostly synthesizer-related stuff though. Bzzt!

 

I'm also on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and off course Ihavesynth.
