Description:
Eighty is a revolutionary synthesizer inspired by the legendary CS-80, boasting unrivaled warmth and expressiveness.
It features three synthesis lines: two of which accurately reproduce the coupled high- and low-pass filters that defined the CS-80’s iconic sound, while the third line seamlessly blends using an innovative 2D mixer, expanding its sonic possibilities.
With rich analog sound, extensive modulation capabilities, and an intuitive interface, The Eighty gives engineers, producers, and musicians the tools to create anything from lush pads and soaring leads to deep, textured soundscapes. A modern homage to a timeless classic.

Features:
Three synthesis lines, four effects, easy setup
Each synthesis line includes a single oscillator with a low-frequency generator, high-pass and low-pass filters, and two envelopes.
Advanced 2D mixer with animation.
Advanced arpeggiator that can modulate a component based on the current step.
Convenient access to vibrato, tremolo, after-touch polyphony, and velocity.
Four deep and warm effects with independent routing: delay, phaser, reverb, and EQ.
Ring modulator with a simple envelope.
Chorus for tremolo and vibrato, as well as ensemble effects.
Multiple modulation sources and destinations.
Advanced preset manager that lets you quickly find the perfect sound for your music. Considered the forerunner of fully polyphonic synthesizers, the CS-80 features a wealth of performance controls, such as polyphonic aftertouch, key tracking sensors, and velocity, that can be applied to any of the synthesis lines.
Renowned artists like Stevie Wonder and Vangelis were among the first to embrace the original block, incorporating its distinctive tones into their music.
Accurately recreates the instruments that shaped Blade Runner and countless other cultural landmarks.
Optimized for low CPU usage without sacrificing sound quality.
Zero-latency filters eliminate common digital artifacts, delivering a truly analog sound.
The power and warmth of 12dB zero-latency analog resonant filters:
Each synthesis line features 12dB zero-latency analog high-pass and low-pass filters, powered by a uniquely designed envelope. Unlike traditional envelopes, this one doesn’t have a sustain control, instead offering an initial level and an attack level. The initial level determines the envelope’s starting point, while the attack level determines the peak it reaches after the attack phase.
The zero-latency design ensures no spectral distortion at high frequencies, a common problem with many digital filters. For example, when setting the cutoff frequency to 10 kHz, only frequencies above 20 kHz are attenuated by 12 dB per octave, preserving the integrity of the high-frequency spectrum.
By avoiding oversampling, we preserve the pristine purity of the oscillators while maintaining efficient and conservative use of CPU resources.
