If you like patches that sound epic, cinematic, sci-fi, horror, thriller, beautiful, lush, nostalgic, etc. this bank is for you. Countless hours were spent creating the 66 patches that are included.

This preset bank is different from the others that I've uploaded. The original CS80 presets that are included are just the beginning. I've spent the last few months creating patches that are built using those original CS80 preset sounds as well. So you get the original dry sounds of the CS80 Tone Selector buttons, plus many new creations based on the CS80 tone that make full use of the PolyBrute's modulation and expression capabilities.

All 22 of the Yamaha CS80's factory presets are here (aka the "Tone Selector" buttons). For many of the CS80 preset patches, I've sourced two different recordings of the CS80 and created alternate versions. The original CS80 preset recreation is stored in Morph A for each of these patches and is a dry sound (no effects). The Morph B for each of these patches is a new creation using the original Morph A's CS80 timbre as a starting point. The Morph B uses the full functionality of the PolyBrutes expressive controls. In most of my demonstration video, I am using aftertouch and the z-axis of the Morphee (via the expression pedal) to control some of the modulations that have been assigned. In many cases, I have only demonstrated part of each patch's expressiveness (mostly in the interest of time and my sanity in completing this project).

13 famous CS80 patches (according to my hasty research on the interwebs) were also recreated by listening, tweaking, listening again, starting over, repeating the process until satisfied. Some of these patches are layered, some are split, some are single layer. Whenever single layers were used, I've provided an alternate version of the patch in Morph A and Morph B.

Many new creations in this bank were made using layering of the CS80 factory presets as a base timbre. I spent a lot of time experimenting with combining the various CS80 presets to see what kind of interesting sounds I could get. I chose my favourite combinations and went to town turning them into lush, interesting, dynamic, and expressive patches. Using the PolyBrute's Morph button on the preset grid, you can take the Morph A of any of the CS80 presets and combine it with another preset's Morph A - just like pressing two of the tone-selector buttons on a real CS80! You are, of course, limited to only three notes of polyphony with layered patches like this, but I can't tell you how easy and fun it is to get carried away feeling like you are actually using a CS80 and discovering very useable and beautiful sounds.
