Yamaha CS60 - Aftertouch to LFO Speed modification

Published on Sep 19, 2018 noddyspuncture

"The CS60 is an amazing and powerful synthesiser - but it's no CS80. As we know, the main differences between the two are that the CS60 is just a single channel instrument and also that it doesn’t have the individual [polyphonic] aftertouch which makes the CS80 so special. But there is another thing the CS80 can do which the CS60 cannot - and that's the touch response (aftertouch) control of the LFO speed. I decided to modify my CS60 so that it could and this really does take it so much closer to it’s big brother sonically. I still need to decide where to put the depth control which is why it's hanging loose while I test & demo the mod - but as you can see and hear - it makes a world of difference, taking it much closer to the CS80 and opening up possibilities never before seen on a CS60..!

So I am offering this *aftertouch* modification, which I can perform on your CS60 in roughly just over an hour - but you would need to bring the synth to me. You’d also have the added bonus of a cup of tea and also get to see my CS80 - if you’re lucky. ☺
