Yamaha CS15

images via this auction.

"Monophonic, 2VCO, 2VCF, 2VCA, 2ENV, 1LFO synthesizer

It's actually a duophonic / bitimbral synth but you have to connect it to CV (Hz/V like Korg not V/Oct) to get the extra voice.

Each of the two VCOs has its own CV/Gate control.

The best things about it are the flexibility of the VCFs and the routings to the filters and envelopes.

You can rout VCO 1 to both VCFs and the VCFs to any of the envelopes positive or negative voltage.

The VCFs are 12 dB/Oct and are switchable between low, band or high-pass. They are the key to the nice sound of the Yamaha CS family.

Other nice features are noise, external-in for processing other sounds,

LFO with Sample & Hold for those bubbling sounds and an individual auto-bend for the VCOs."

  1. If anyone has a spare knob, a pot, and or the pitch and filter slider caps for these let me know. Thanks!
