"These Yamaha CS series vintage synths are as analog and organic as they come and this specific model has been thoroughly tested including the oscillators (very important for the CS series synths). Every key, slider, button, and feature is working flawlessly. For those not too familiar with the CS-15, it's the only model of the CS series that can produce two triangle waves, and these sound nice and colorful. Other synths, even many analog ones don't come anywhere near this one. This is mostly due to the unique discrete design which give all waves, including the triangle richer high end frequencies, so they really pop especially when using the filters. Also, combining a triangle wave with another square, pulse width, or sawtooth adds a smooth and thick texture to the sound due to the fact these are truly unique oscillators.
Yamaha also added a brilliance slider in front that affects both filters simultaneously and LED's for each of the ADSR envelopes. And these envelopes on the x5 setting can extend out about twice as long as the former CS synths. Yamaha also re-designed the layout to be more logical. Just looking at the flow of the entire panel is so much easier to follow and work with than previous CS synths. The CS-15 with it's two oscillators can produce everything from punchy bass to screaming leads with an organic quality and life."
