I'd say you're looking at the Black Elephant Hyde or Black Mesa/Tarus. The Tartan is only effective if you have found a wellspring of bagpipe sounds in your CS-80... Pat

Hello gang. It's great to have found the hang for us cs-80 owners/players/hackers. Just breezed through the archives and my mind is still working on trying to reconstruct the crime scene in which

Hi all. It's been a few weeks, so here's a quick reminder about what's available in this Yahoo CS80 group, in addition to messages. Under Files, I've got three mp3s of tunes featuring CS80.
