just received an email, even though I don't have the synth (not sure whether I have any Xils Lab haha)

well, they didn't listen to ME

I suggested they expand that exhaust panel and get rid of those pesky controls.
If they'd just made the back panel more prominent, maybe show the power cable and the socket it's going to... how will I know if it's actually plugged in!?
maybe a bean bag, a cat... the corner of the table, an ashtray?

seriously, what the f**k is with the exhaust panel area? is there effects under there or something?

the Softube version is on special at the moment.
I always saw the CS-80 as a players synth, and i can't play for shit. but i did have a tweak of the Softube demo and it sounds pretty good. I'm thinking of getting it just to keep twiddling with the ring mod slider. Kinda fun

Lol.

Seriously, developers should implement a modern streamlined gui and let users choose which gui they want to use.
