As others have said, a good two monophonic occilateurs.
It has everything very promptly can dream a monaural quality and more.

These peculiarities are, sync the two CSOs, white noise quality, two separate filters for each CSO, two assignable ADSR anything, low pass filters, high pass and band-pass, resonant but do not self-occilation like Moog.

For a comprehensive mono.

UTILIZATION

We do not get any easier. The scheme is classic and effective immediately we control the machine if you know one can subtractive synthesis.

SOUNDS

The sound of the CS-15 is the top of the series of CS. The CS-30 is a more complicated program and does not match any synth, so it's CS-15 remains the choice for a conventional monophonic.
The filter is specified, the sound and slap it is particularly punchy, it was not the width of a Moog or Oberheim, but each style!

Its originality is to have a very personal sound, at once warm and precise, and also with the possibility of an envelope super fast flapping in the manner of a Prophet 5.

Perfect for sequenced bass and rhythm, it appears the mix thanks to its exceptional dynamic. For sub bass or choose Moog Studio Electronics.

OVERALL OPINION

I love this device. It is deeper than the professional Korg Monopoly / Polysix, the Roland SH and even the Oberheim SEM. I have a CS-30 and CS-15, and I guard.
Note that the filters including aging badly and HIPASS bandpass mode. Check when buying.

A synth with a unique opportunity side very low, currently around 500 EUR. This synth deserves to sell 1000 EUR. With the rarity of this type of machine is a worthwhile investment, because I think these machines more and more expensive in the future.

In addition the quality of the CS-15 (and all CS) far beyond the MFB, Technosaurus, Evolvers, Analog and other new modes, with components made of poor quality. To the ear, the difference is fundamental. So considering the price, it's a very good deal.
