The CS40M is a 4 oscillator duophonic analogue synthesizer with memories (20 of them).

The sound is big, warm and smooth - that great CS filter shines through - flexible enough to cover huge basses (2 additional subbass sinewaves in the VCA section), strong leads and weird percussive effects. This is due in no small part to the envelopes for both the VCA and Filter sections that are switchable between x5 and Normal for additional precision in shaping your sounds.

The CS40M has a super fast LFO with multiple waveforms, that can be changed independently at the destination (S&H at Filter, Pulse at OSC1, etc).

There's also a wonderful ring modulator and a 3rd envelope for routing to the oscillators and LFO.

Plus you have a nice set of performance controls to the left of the keyboard, including knobs and sliders that give you additional control over filter cutoff and envelope sustain..."
