“I owned a CS80 for over forty years, and used it on numerous recordings. It was far and away my favorite synthesizer. But playing the GX-80 with a controller that outputs polyphonic aftertouch, I can close my eyes, and I have my beloved CS80 again. The GX-80 captures the spirit of it, and I haven't even gotten around to exploring the GX-1 side of it. I never would have thought it possible to have my own "Dream Machine" that lives in my computer. This is voodoo, or alchemy—I'm astounded. Outstanding!”

“I've spent considerable time playing a GX-1 and a CS-80. You've captured the nature of GX-1. By putting its roar under the hood, the CS-80 emulation sounds so much more realistic. Frankly, this is the instrument that Yamaha should have built!”

“I have used both the GX-1 and the CS-80 for many years and they do not sound or perform like anything else. GX-80 uncannily captures the essence of Yamaha’s polyphonic heyday in the mid-70s and the results are so powerful, expressive, and flexible.”

“As an engineer at CBS Studios London, many producers hired the CS-80 for their sessions. GX-80 captures all the vibe of the original monster but also takes a giant leap forward to the future, incorporating stunning studio-quality FX.”

“GX-80 is really fantastic. The aftertouch implementation is quite amazing. You’ve managed to create pseudo poly AT out of channel pressure! The power of this thing!! It feels like you’re sitting in the seat of an F1 race car. Blown away.”

“I’ve been working on the CS-80 most of my life, and I can attest that GX-80 is spot on. It adds the functions you wish the original had, like the GX filter and synced functions. I’m finding its warmth and accurate character a joy and inspiration.”

“When I worked for Vangelis, it took 2 or 3 of us to move his CS-80s and this is two of those in one softsynth. I hear all the character and quality of both Stevie's "Dream Machine" and Vangelis' favourite synth dripping from every preset.”

“Once again, you guys have knocked it out of the park. The extra GX functions are amazing, and being able to double up two layers is huge. Literally. I bought a Deckard’s Dream a few years ago and now I’m not sure that I need it.”

“The GX-80 brings me back to my roots when I used the mighty CS-80. I’ve already started to easily program my familiar sounds from the past, and the GX additions make them even bigger. Very exciting!”

“GX-80 is a beast! As soon as I heard it, I was transported back to when I first played a CS-80 in a music store. It really sounds amazing and gives all the feelings you’d hope for and more! I’m very happy to have it in my live performance setup.”

“GX-80 is hands down one of the most expressive instruments in my vast arsenal of synths. They beautifully captured all we have come to celebrate and revere about the GX-1 and CS-80, evoking emotion in a cinematic and majestic way.”

“After installing the GX-80 I randomly loaded a preset - it was 'Deep Space Impact.' I hit a key and that thing nearly took my head off! This synth is massive, gorgeous, and dripping with character!”

“Goosebumps. That was my first impression when I opened the GX-80 in my DAW. The absolutely original combination of GX-1 and CS-80 in your GX-80 makes this synth peerless!”

“Authentic analog textures wrapped up in a slick user interface. If, like me, you're in the nostalgia business, then the GX-80 will effortlessly allow you to sonically transport your listeners to a bygone era!”
