Arturia Acid VvsArturia CS-80 V4
Summary
Arturia Acid V and Arturia CS-80 V4: 2 Arturia software synths compared side by side. They differ on 4 of 6 compared specifications.
Key differences
- Emulates: Roland TB-303 (1981) on the Acid V and Yamaha CS-80 (1977) on the CS-80 V4.
- Oscillators: 1 oscillator (square, triangle) plus sub-oscillator on the Acid V and 2 parallel layers, each with its own VCO and PWM LFO, plus sub-oscillator on the CS-80 V4.
- Filter: Resonant low-pass on the Acid V and High-pass and low-pass in series per layer, with envelopes on the CS-80 V4.
Both are the same on synth type (Analogue modelling) and plugin formats (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX).
