YAMAHA CS20M

via this auction
"This is essentially a CS40m without the Ring Modulator, The PWM Function routing and 8 less keys. For those who are wondering... the "M" series CS synths do NOT sound like the standard CS's like the 10,15,30 etc. The m's sound more like a Moog than any other. Smoother and to me, sits better in a mix. These 20m's are amazing for creating some unique sounds. Basses and leads for sure, but the modulation routing is very deep, Every VCO, the Filter and the EG has it's own modulation type selector and amount. so you can essentially have a Sine wave, a saw wave, a S/H and a Tri wave going at the same time!!!! All clocked to the internal LFO Speed! Everything works, It keeps pitch great. Also has CV I/O!"

  1. CS-20M is a nice synth, but it is more than just a ring modulator shy of a CS-40M, the latter being a duophonic instrument, often played in unison mode. The Cs-40M as a result can make MUCH bigger sounds.

    And ... with its m12 dB/oct filter, it sounds nothing like a Moog. Maybe more like a SEM? And the HPF brings it to another planet altogether!
