So I have demo'ed it twice... first a few days ago, uninstalled it, and tried again earlier today for a few hours.. and uninstalled again..
I am old enough to have been playing synths when the cs80 was still popular.. I don't remember if I ever played one in person, but for sure if I did, I won't be able to say out of this one, the softube one (which is my favourite) and the arturia one which I own but never use, is closest to the original hardware. For sure from their website as others have pointed out, their a/b seems like odd choices...
No sense saying what I find wrong with the GUI, many other users have already said they say and I agree with most of them..
But I don't quite get why people love the sound of this.. like I said it may be closer to the hardware for all I know, but I, as I usually do with demos, created a few short tracks with it, and what I consider the competitors (in this case the model 77 and the arturial cs 80 v4 which to be honest I don't really like either). And it didn't do anything for me at all. In every instance I prefered the model 77 (though I wish it had an arp like this one does).
I know each person has their own sound aesthetics, but for me there was nothing sound wise that made me say, ah I want this (much less need it) and go off to buy a license.
my two cents.
