Xils Lab has released a video on YouTube, teasing the Eighty, a new authentic emulation of the legendary CS-80 Synthesizer from 1977.
The most popular and legendary analog Synthesizer is probably the Yamaha CS-80. The synthesizer received a massive boost in popularity, mainly thanks to the epic Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis.
This boost has also motivated many developers to try to revive this vintage beast. There are various emulations for the DAW (Arturia, Cherry Audio, Softube, Memorymoon…) and an analog replica, Deckard’s Dream, from Black Corporation. Plus, Behringer has another in development.
Xils Lab The Eighty
I believe this Synthesizer is quite challenging to replicate. Just before the year’s end, another developer is attempting to capture the essence of this analog monster.
Xils Lab has unveiled a teaser video for “The Eighty,” a new Synthesizer plugin emulating the iconic Yamaha CS-80.
The video provides minimal details, featuring blurred visuals of the plugin while indicating that development on this new Synthesizer has been ongoing for quite some time. Additionally, the familiar tunes from Blade Runner can be heard in the background.
Finally, Xils Lab writes: “The Eighty more to come, stay tuned… I assume that this will be the name of the plugin. It would also fit. It will be exciting to see if it is a 1:1 of the feature set or if Xils Lab has built-in effects or other functions.
I’m excited to see what it will look like. Stay tuned; I will, of course, update the article.
