This vintage (?) digital synth by Yamaha from the 1996 was for sale in my neighborhood. I hesitated, it does look a little weird with its angled sides. And we all know that the 90s wasn't always that great in sound, when the big three started making synths sounding too digital and cold. After 5 minutes of pressing keys and pushing buttons I was positively surprised and decided to make a video. CS1x is the first CS named synth Yamaha made since the 70s, but don't be fooled by the name, it is not an analog CS, it is very much digital. But the initial feeling is that it is very digital in a nice, retro way. What do you think? Please comment and of course, like and subscribe :-)
A few of this first session videos coming up.
