Perhaps, but musically they've been dead to me since they stopped being a skiffle actRezisehtnys wrote:The Bee Gees made it into the 2000's before breaking up, so there.
Did they use a CS80? I think so.Rezisehtnys wrote:The Bee Gees made it into the 2000's before breaking up, so there.
There is a current amnesia about dance music that existed at the end of the 70s, and throughout the 80s.Sir Ruff wrote:? so what on Earth did people make "dance music" with before the juno and 303 were released?
Indeed a mystery, I'm wondering about this about twice a dayAutomatic Gainsay wrote:[...]they'll wonder how it was possible that dance music could be made without 808s, 303s[...]
yes, but that's a rock band. *rimshot*Ned Bouhalassa wrote:And here's the answer:
Yes, but the original CS was built with a lot of parts that can be most likely miniaturized with no influence on the actual sound, and with smarter routing/multi-layered PCBs you could most likely shrink some parts as well.SeventhStar wrote:Being that the CS80 weighs over 200lbs, no, I would not want one.
Even if the CS80 was of manageable weight, its reliability would still count against moving it more than you had to.I wouldn't want a synth that I can't pick up and carry by myself.
http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewto ... 50#1560250Got my initial bare prototype boards for CSR-80 today. These are in the form factor of a crowbx as I have things set up here to test crowbx voices. My CS-80 circuits are used here. Bonus on this board is I left the 2nd (OBX) VCO there for extra fun. "Real" CS-80 voicing means just turn the 2nd VCO off. This board is a 1V/Oct response again for easier testing. When I have it all built and tested/debugged I'll go for the actual V/Hz M board. --Crow
There is also an experimental circuit at the lower left of the board that involves a PIC, 4-channel DAC and other stuff. I won't be working with that section for a while yet, however.
