Yamaha CS-60, Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer


via this auction

"This is a classic. It is INTENSELY musical and features things that not many other old vintage synths have; including resonant low AND high pass filters, expressive aftertouch options, a super-usable ribbon controller, a ring modulator (typically only monosynths have this), and glissando....

1 VCO with SUB OSC as well
2 ADSRs (one for filter, one for amp)
HPF and LPF, both resonant
1 LFO, plus an independent LFO for PWM (Best PWM I've heard on a synth so far)
8 voices
Ringmod sections with various controls (This is how to achieve that Vangelis sound)
Ribbon pitch controller (Great for solos)
External input for LFO control (make it track to drum machines, etc)
Polyphonic portamento"
