New Member JEFFS

[JEFFS]

Hello All, I am a new member from Central California. . I am learning Guitar and Piano. I bought a Fender Thin-line Telecaster and another standard Telecaster as Jonny Buckland uses. I am desperately trying to get some of the other keyboard synth sounds (like the synth pad sound on Clocks and the string sound on Politik). From what I can tell, Chris used the Yamaha CS-80 synth for most of the synths on the first two albums. Maybe someone here can confirm this?

Hello Jeffs, welcome! I tried to do a bit of research and apparently the Yamaha CS-80 was used for the X&Y album, not sure about AROBTTH unfortunately.

I have afew settings that are close with the CS-80 for Clocks and Politik but wanted to confirm if Chris actually used it

Also the intro to Yellow I believe is also a CS-80

Hey Jeffs, great to meet you! I'm also new here. Have no idea about the gear Chris used, so it's cool that you brought it up!

The synthesizer sounds are part of Coldplays signature sound along with Chris Martins vocals and Jonny Bucklands unique guitar technics.

I believe this is the CS-80 on clocks >> https://gearspace.com/board/attachments/so-much-gear-so-little-time/811586d1555017252-coldplay-clocks-clocks.mp3
