"The Yamaha CSX1 [CS1X] cost about 600 dollars in the mid nineties. Almost three months of my car payment back then. But it was an interesting synth that foresaw the virtual analog craze that took hold a few years later. As an instrument its use of arpeggios and realtime controls made it a really cool device in a world of rompers and General MIDI. Yes this is sample based synth and yes it does have general Midi"
