The CS-80V2 allows the creation of 8 parallel voices and thus, in theory, 8 different sounds

played at the same time.

On the original CS-80, a note was controlled by a card that was filled with electronic circuits that represented the

complete synthesis architecture. It is for this reason that we could, for example, obtain notable differences in the

settings of a sound between the notes played and the tuning of the oscillator.

The CS-80V2 conserves this ideal: you can program eight different sounds (eight voices), which are assignable in a

multitude of applications.

With the Multi mode, it is possible for you to assign each of these 8 voices to 4 keyboard zones

and to 4 different MIDI channels. These 8 voices can also be superimposed across the entire

keyboard in order to create a composite sound that is very rich and expressive (Unison mode).

Let’s follow this example:

 Choose the preset Tremolo in the Templates low frequency bank and Effects sub-bank. In

this example, the 8 voices all have the same settings.

 First, open the Multi mode to access the parameters.

 Now, set the different zones as follows:

o The first 4 voices will occupy zone1 (C1 to B3);

o The fifth voice will occupy zone2 (C4 to C5);

o The sixth voice will occupy zone 3 (C5 to C6)

o The seventh & eighth voices will occupy the zone 4 (C6 to C7).

o All these zones must be configured on all MIDI channels by selecting Omni, close to

the Keyboard range.

 The voice modes allow you to play differently according the voice:

o Set the UniLast for each voice

o Deactivate the PORTA, R.MOD and FX buttons for each voice

o Set the FEET voice to 16”, this will create a bass for the low part of the keyboard.

 In order to get a polyphonic voice you have to set number of polyphonic voices in the tool

bar, x3 is enough for our sound:

Set the polyphony

1 2 ... 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ... 87 88
