Chapter 1 - General 1.1 - About ME80 The ME80 is a classic analog synthesizer. In addition to the features on a Yamaha CS80 the ME80 will give you: • Patch memory for 128 patches. • Group presets for each synthline and equalizer. -
Page 5: Chapter 2 - Presets
We have set the output level quite low in all patches to give he level by aftertouch. Hint about fine adjustments with all sliders on the ME80: You can press Ctrl to do fine adjustments, and Ctrl+Shift to do adjustments. -
Page 6: Preset Selectors
It is even possible to overwrite all the factory Yamaha presets, but I suggest that you keep them. Panel 1+2 (far right) is the default setting when you edit sounds. If you edit sounds with the Yamaha preset selectors in Panel position you will keep all the Yamaha synthline presets. ME80 v2 - User Guide... -

After that you have sliders to set individual random values for each voicecard each time you play a new note. The Yamaha CS80 is known to have very big differences between each voicecard. So was the CS80 we modelled the ME80 after. Especially the randomness of the PW values was crazy. - Page 13 After that you have sliders to set individual random values for each voicecard each time you play a new note.
