Yamaha CS40M

I don't remember seeing the blue 40M. Anyone know if this is a custom job or official? Here's a prior post for reference.

"Lots of people describe it as a CS-80 little brother. I personnally own a CS-60, and I have to admit it's not only pretty damn close for lots of things, but it's better in many respect! The lead sounds of the 40m is definately fatter than the CS-60, due to the possibility to play 4 vco's in unison mode (2 vco's in duophonic). Filter section is multimode (HPF-BPF-LPF), resonant and the ring modulator is simply awesome! Actually, it's exactly the same as the CS-80.

You got 20 memories, which is pretty good for an analog synth! The VCO section ( Sine Saw Square, with PWM) has a HUGE range (64' to 2'), and modulation possibilities are practically unlimited. No wonder why Vangelis used it!"
