YAMAHA CS01 Vintage Analog Mono Mini Synth


via this auction

"Very simple, straightforward analogue design VCO-Filter-Envelope. Pitch bend wheel & assignable Mod wheel for Vibrato or Wah effects. 4 wave shapes & a great & buzzy PWM setting!"

Update via Thatsnotmydad in the comments: "When Lionel Richie was the musical guest on SNL, his keyboard player used the CS01 with a breath controller for the opening synth solo. It was the coolest thing I'd seen.

Also, I owned a Casiotone 405 -- the keyboard upon which the Yamaha is displayed. So, these photos are a serious rush."

Curious if it was the 1982 season mentioning Lionel here.
