This classic Synthesizer was in storage for over 3 years, and came back sounding better than ever. Those familiar with the work of Vangelis should recognize these sounds, which are all presets of the Yamaha CS80. The song fragments are played from memory, so please excuse any mistakes!

Can you please play the synth line to Born in the USA? Roy Bittan used this synth for that song and it would be nice to hear.

Nice demo. It is such an expressive synth and will always be indelibly linked with Vangelis like a Moog and Walter Carlos. Vangelis once said in an interview circa 1984 that he thought the DX7 was a step backwards from the CS80 in terms of control.More demos please.

Trafia prosto do serca, tu, w tej sprzętowej, oryginalnej CS-80, i brzmi dokładnie tak jak wtedy u Vangelisa, i to wcale nie jest łatwe: dziś, i nie każda dziś Yamaha CS-80 tak może nawet, ponieważ: Vangelis wybrał 2 instrumenty z pośród wielu, niektóre posłużyły tylko na części - do złożenia tych dwóch najważniejszych - idealnych, na których dopiero zrobił swe arcy-genialne kochane na zawsze: płyty,

Is the last bit (after Chariots of Fire) before you close off from a certain piece? It sounds soooo good.
