My first electric piano when I started gigging in 1981/82. Had I the money I would have bought a CP80. The CP20 and larger twin CP30 were polyphonic, touch sensitive, and had a sustain pedal, but the similarity to either a piano or Rhodes ended there.

What I like most is its look and sound with tremolo Piano1
5 octave keyboard / 4 sounds mixed / tremolo with speed and depth
Bass / Treble / Volume / Pitch
Possible adjustment of global decay ...
