Sweet Sounds
Aovi 28.12.2025
Not having access to a CS-80, I can't speak on it's accuracy, but it compares well to the best of other emulations and sounds wonderful.
Xils always delivers rich textures, and this synth is no exception.

Eine der besten CS-80 Emulation, leider immer noch mit Schwächen
Ford Beeblebrox 10.03.2026
Vom Grundsound her finde dieses Plugin grandios, Gänsehaut ist für mich garantiert.
Die internen Effekte sind OK, aber ich schalte sie komplett aus und nutze meine eigenen z. B. den Big Sky von Strymon oder die Sachen von LiquidSonics.
Nachteilig ist, dass immer wieder Bugs auftauchen. Ich nutze das Plugin in Ableton 12 auf einem M2Pro Mac mit Ventura. Immer wieder haken Einstellungen oder sind verwirrend oder fuktionieren nocht wie gedacht. Auch von der Bedienung allgemein finde ich das Plugin nicht wirklich intuitiv. Alleine das Erstellen von eigenen Presets ist nicht trivial.
Aber der Sound und die Bandbreite sind wirklich auf extrem hohen Niveau, mindestens gleich auf mit dem CS-80-Angebot von Softtube.
Insofern kann ich The Eighty nur empfehelen und hoffe, dass er bald erwachsen wird.

Buen sonido y emulación del CS80
Atmosphere 7 29.08.2025
Es una de las mejores emulaciones que he tenido, aunque no poseo la última versión de Arturia. Respecto a otras emulaciones, esta tiene los "presets" originales, y una voz adicional. Me gustaría pedir algo, que tenga soporte MPE, pues siendo un nuevo producto es una pena que no lo tenga, es sólo aftertouch.

Più che buono
CP-it 25.11.2025
Per chi non può permettersi un vero CS-80 questa è una soluzione spettacolare, con la scomodità tipica dei synth software, ovvero la mancanza di "mettere le dita" su un vero hardware.
Ma la sonorità, ripresa quasi al 100% dal vecchio mostro vi darà molta soddisfazione. Possiedo tutte le emulazioni software del CS-80 e questa è una delle due preferite. L'altra è quella di C.A. che però emula anche l'ancor più raro GX1.
Non mancano molti presets di chiara ispirazione Vangelis, male non fanno di sicuro, e sono anche ben fatti.
In conclusione un plugin davvero realizzato benissimo, forse un po' dispendioso sulla CPU, ma non di più dei concorrenti.
E, se lo prenderete drante qualche periodo di sconto, avrete molto per poco.
