CS-80 V2
CS-80 V2 is an audio unit (AU) plugin from Arturia that emulates the Moog CS-80 synthesizer, a legendary polyphonic analog synth from the 1970s known for its warm, expressive sound and complex modulation capabilities. The plugin is used by music producers, sound designers, and composers working in digital audio workstations (DAWs) that support Audio Unit plugins on macOS. It brings vintage synthesis capabilities into modern production workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCS-80 V2 is a plugin component, not a standalone application — it runs inside your DAW and is updated through Arturia's installer, not separately. Arturia confirmed in 2023 that the entire V Collection (which includes CS-80 V2) now ships as native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) with full AU support. To get the native build, download and run Arturia's installer from arturia.com, which will automatically update or install the native version of the plugin. If you installed CS-80 V2 originally via the Arturia V Collection installer, simply re-running the current installer will upgrade the plugin in place. After updating, rescan your DAW's plugin cache to register the native AU — most DAWs do this automatically on launch, but some may require you to manually trigger a plugin rescan in Preferences.
