Arturia's CS-80V is a reproduction of Yamaha's CS-80, offering the same features but adding new functions such as a multimode and modulation matrix.

The CS-80V is based on a set of algorithms created by the company's sound engineers and gathered under the name TAE, True Analog Emulation. It brings a high-quality sound when reproducing analog circuits; in particular, TAE avoids any sort of aliasing and also emulates the typical instability of hardware oscillators, bringing the warm sound of vintage synths. The CS-80V is fully compatible with industry-standard protocols and systems. It can be used as stand-alone software or as a virtual instrument, and with the ability to work at 32-bit/96 kHz, it offers the same qualities of a hardware synth.

The CS-80V is loaded with more than 400 presets made by a selection of top artists and musicians. Required minimum configuration on a PC or Mac OS 9/X includes 128MB RAM with a 500MHz processor.
