Vintage Synth Pads (VSP) has released Vintage Legend, which they describe as a set of classic Yamaha presets for the Arturia CS80.
A spokesperson had this to say, "For many professional musicians, the Yamaha CS80 was one of the unquestionable greats. It was a vital part of the sound of Vangelis, Brian Eno, Michel Jarre, Yes, Genesis, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan,and David Bowie. The CS80 could do some things that even the most expensive modern Romplers still can't. It had an almost organic quality to it that seemed like it had a pulse. The way the modulation cycled and the filters emoted was very musical. Listen to the classic recordings of Vangelis or Brian Eno, both did some of their best work with it. It was a synth with a soul, very warm and expressive in a way samples simply cannot come close to."
The Vintage Legend collection focuses on what the CS80 did best - Pads and Melodic synth presets - but, also includes classic arps, brass, bass, keys and leads:
