In 1976, Yamaha introduced the CS-80. The price tag ($6,900) put it out of reach of most
musicians, and the weight (220 lbs or 100 kg) made it sometimes hard to use on the
stage.......But the qualities of the CS-80,
considered as Japans first great synthesizer, made it immediately famous in the music
industry.
The CS-80 was popularised in the late 70's and early 80's
by artists and groups like Toto, Jean-Michel Jarre, Keith Emerson, Stevie Wonder or
Vangelis, who helped to turn this synthesizer into a real myth. |
