SOUNDS

Typed and warm sound. I loved her the time that I've owned!
Used to me to make digital dub (80's style, dougie wardrop, King Jammys ...)
Wicked bassline!

OVERALL OPINION

I do not regret having sold this synth, given the fragility of minitouches, wear knobs (I bought OCCAZ ')
If you want this particular sound, bought it. Otherwise, I think it is better to turn to a new and modern analog synth (like a Minibrute or a small Vermona) for reasons of strength, value for money and features (for a CS01 OCCAZ is to € 200/300 which is expensive!)
In any case, the format is fun and the inimitable sound, but I still prefer my MiniBrute, more comprehensive and just as easy

A rating for this amazing toy vintage

Yamaha CS01Published on 08/30/12 at 08:43
(This content has been automatically translated from French)
Only 2.5 octaves, and monophonic (that is his biggest default).
With 2 Fasteners type guitar straps ... ;-)

UTILIZATION

There's no more simple: you move the faders and have fun right away to create sounds.

SOUNDS

The aftertouch, y'en not. What amazes me is that some even "midifier" with this keyboard kit "UMR2" of Highly Liquid and even found a wiring diagram for CS01 Special! (Http://forum.highlyliquid.com/showthread.php?t=824)

OVERALL OPINION

I used 20 years ago. I had exchanged against a polyphonic keyboard that Casio is worthless today, it ...
With experience, not only I would do this choice, but I would buy several more for resale, given its current rating! ;-)...…

Anecdote little mono synth a mini keyboard
no preset
Wind has a controller which acts directly on the sound

UTILIZATION

Yamaha launches this little mono synth easy to use
which allows to understand the operation of a synth.
especially against a korg ms 20 of the era

SOUNDS

The sounds are especially good at using a good amp with reverb and delay, if possible
by the receiver against his internal speaker is poor.

OVERALL OPINION

Finally, for 1500 francs can hardly complain. …

Mini keyboard yamahah
