New Xils-Lab The Eighty VST vs. Classic Yamaha CS80 – How Does It Stack Up?

In this video, we dive into the ultimate comparison between the legendary Yamaha CS80, the iconic synth behind Blade Runner and countless classics, and the brand-new Xils-Lab The Eighty VST – a cutting-edge emulation of the original. I put these two head-to-head, exploring:
• Raw waveforms and the sound engine
• Ring modulation and pitch bend capabilities
• Dry sounds and FX comparisons
• Iconic licks from Vangelis and Michael Jackson
Whether you're a synth enthusiast or looking for your next VST, this video has you covered. Let’s see if the future of VSTs can truly match the past of analog synths!"
