🎹 XILS Lab – The Eighty

The Legendary Yamaha CS-80, Reimagined for the Modern Producer

The XILS Lab – The Eighty masterfully blends the iconic sound of the Yamaha CS-80 with cutting-edge plugin technology. From the legendary tones heard on Blade Runner, Toto’s “Africa”, and Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, to brand-new sound-sculpting possibilities, this synth delivers vintage authenticity and next-gen innovation in one powerhouse instrument.

🔥 Authentic CS-80 Sound, Modern Power

XILS-lab has painstakingly modeled the oscillators, filters, and expressive performance features of the original CS-80, while adding:

• 3 Synthesis Lines with a powerful 2D Mixer

• Zero-delay analog filters for warm, rich tone

• Extended Arpeggiator with step-based modulation & muting

• Studio-grade Effects: delay, phaser, reverb, and EQ

👉 The result: Classic CS-80 magic with modern flexibility for today’s music creators.

🎛️ Expressive Performance Like Never Before

Just like the legendary hardware, The Eighty is built for deep expression:

• Polyphonic Aftertouch & Velocity Sensitivity

• Advanced Ring Modulator for unique textures

• Dynamic modulation options that bring every note to life

Whether you’re composing cinematic scores, crafting retro synthwave, or designing modern electronic sounds, this instrument responds to your touch with unparalleled nuance.
