NOTE: This is a repost. I hate to lose all the views and comments - especially Cherry Audio's - but after listening to it enough times, I felt it needed to be tweaked. It's such a delicate piece that any sloppily-timed notes or uneven volume surges basically ruin the whole thing. Worst part is, I'll probably hear something else that bothers me later on. Original post as follows:

This is a dream come true for me. For decades I've longed to be able to play this gorgeous track using the same sounds Vangelis used, but there was simply no way for me to do that -- The venerable CS-80 was (and still is) too far out of reach and no other synth I had access to could quite reproduce its sonic qualities... until now.

Cherry Audio has blown my socks off with the GX-80. [ Ссылка ] It's hard to know what else to say about it. As soon as you start scrolling through the sounds and playing with the paddles, this feeling comes over you that this is the CS-80 you've been wishing for all these decades and now it's actually in your possession. Yes, Arturia already remade the CS-80 at least a couple of times (and it provides supporting strings on this track), but it didn't draw me in the way this does. It didn't feel as real or accurate, though it may indeed be.

To be fair, Arturia has set a standard for these synth emulations and I use the V Collection a lot. But when it comes to this particular synth, I feel like Cherry Audio has created the only version I'll ever need. I cannot imagine the work that must have gone into this. They could have said, "Well, Arturia already did it so let's move on." I am SO glad they didn't say that.

I can't thank you enough, Cherry Audio. [ Ссылка ]

Anyone who is interested in trying the presets, I've got a folder of presets I made for Irlande and for Hymne that are located here: [ Ссылка ]

I didn't bother organizing them properly, so you'll get some "in progress" grade presets. PLEASE ALSO NOTE that they are detuned, so use the global tuning to set them back to zero. LASTLY, without a keyboard that has polyphonic aftertouch, these sounds will sound flat / non-expressive by comparison.

Let me know if they work (or don't). Typically, you would copy them to your folder system here: C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Roaming\CherryAudio\GX-80\Presets\User Presets
