'Creepy Soundtrack 15' - Yamaha CS-15 + Arturia Keystep 2 Voice,1 Synth Jam

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"The Yamaha CS-15 has two complete synth voices, so here I'm using the Hz/Volts mode of the ‪@ArturiaOfficial‬ Keystep to control one voice, and the synth keyboard to control the other. This time I'm channeling my affection for 70s/80s horror movie soundtracks (again), particulary John Carpenter, although I've missed Halloween by a few days.
Using the two voices independently reduces the sonic possibilities of the synth, and they share a single audio output, but it can be quite fun to see what can be squeezed out of a single vintage synth of the 1970's.
As a single monophonic synth the CS-15 is very unique and surprisingly flexible, as it has two of almost everything (2x VCO, multi-mode VCF, ADSR, VCA), but only one LFO, and the otherwise independent voices (both of which have their own CV & Gate inputs) are both routed to the same audio outputs (high & low), which is a bit of a bummer.
Anyway, I don't suppose it was intended to replace two single oscillator monosynths, and this is from the late 70's, so it's a pretty killer design when viewed in context. I can imagine it being super-useful in a minimal, early synthpop band on a budget."
