Florian,

I agree that the CS80 is a beautiful machine and has probably the lushest most organic sound out of all the polysynth ever produced. My only criticism is that it was designed for someone who could actually play a keyboard (hence the criticism is not directed at the CS80 but at myself) because it was perfectly weighted and had really nice aftertouch as well.

David

But not only because of the ribbon controller ;-)

I had a quite simple controller made out of a resistance wire, I took from
a wire based potentiometer. I lost it when our rehearsal room was broken up
by thieves. :(
