Yamaha Releasing Updated CS-80

[AnalogKid]

Yamaha's has announced that they will be releasing what is essentially an updated version of the legendary CS-80. The new version has full size keys with poly aftertouch and is real analog with patch memory. It will sell for $3999.

Here's a link to a page with information and photos. It looks awesome:

Oh sure. Instead of rolling with it, you ruined the ride.

I'm a notorious party-pooper.

You should have posted it on 2nd April. Or 31st March, for that matter. I might have been a little more enthusiastic then, just a matter of bad timing.

I could see Yamaha doing this. They are arguably the greatest company of all time

When I was a kid at a theater watching The Empire Strikes Back, a guy in the row in front of me turned to a person next to him and said in a loud enough voice so that everyone around could hear him, "Coming up is where they show that Darth Vader is Luke's Father."

Not cool! That spoiled it for me as well as for my brother and the friends that we were with, and perhaps others around us as well.

Was that guy you?

Regarding a CS-80 reissue, yeah, that would be cool. I'd be surprised if Yamaha did it. Maybe we'll see something like this down the road from Behringer:

I would love to plead guilty but I'm afraid it wasn't me.
