Über diesen Titel

Can YOU tell the difference between the legendary Yamaha CS-80 and today’s best software emulations? In this blind test, host Andy Whitmore — producer, synth expert, and collector of 65 keyboards — compares the original CS-80 with recreations from Arturia, Softube, Cherry Audio, and XILS Lab.

You’ll hear iconic sounds from Vangelis, Michael Jackson, Toto, and even Doctor Who — but only ONE is the real hardware. Play along, make your guesses, and see if your ears can spot the legendary CS-80 among the plugins.

👉 Don’t forget to follow for more synth deep-dives, blind tests, and music production stories from the studio.
