💡 Plugin of the Week:
Arturia CS-80 V4
Type: VST plugin Virtual Instrument
Category: Synth
Key Features:
Advanced mode offers up some extra features under the hood for you to play about with (as if there were not enough things already!) The screen below shows some of the routing and filtering which is available in Advanced Mode. Again, all of this is available to modulate using the midi settings.
Dual Oscillators are in play with the CS-80 providing the distinct grand sound. Each has an assigned LFO to really offer up the fuller low end features which are expected in a synth of this calibre.
Presets - The plugin offers up a huge selection of category of presets. Bass lines, keys and even drums are available to pick and choose. Some of the sequence presets are really great patches to start with to get carried away in creating tunes.
Why we love it: Retro synthesiser with amazing presets. Original 70s and 80s sounds are achievable with ease.
