Yamaha CS01 loopsong 7

video upload by Jeroen Elfferich

"a short tune made with only the Yamaha CS01 synthesizer"

Track: '91 (Everlasting Summer) - MPC One, Zoom R20, Novation PEAK, Yamaha EX5, Reface DX, Guitar

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"Here's a song about that vague feeling you've overstayed your welcome, by years propably. Made on #mpcone mainly, with my #ZOOMR20 acting as an audio interface and MIDI controller. Novation PEAK is used for that distorted piano sound that augments the singer's voice whenever a line ends. Yamaha #ex5 plays that slow brass stab, and #refacedx is used for that short 'fuzzy EP' solo in the middle. #guitar was recorded to MPC as well, then filtered and EQ'd a bit.

Ambient EP backing track provided by @LanthanOIde - thanks again and I'm sorry for giving this a low profile in the mix _once again_ - perhaps it's time for another ambient remix? ;-)

Yamaha AN1x "Analog Plus"

video upload by App Sound (by Matt Sour)

"More than a typical VA-synth: The Yamaha AN1x offers a great synth engine including FM. In 1998 I created the bank 'Analog Plus' (distributed by Yamaha and still available) which shows how different the AN1x can really sound ... added some reverb/delay from the freeware plugin Valhalla Supermassive."

"Here i made a kind of radio soundscape jam.
The Akai MPC X has 8 stereo audiotracks. I recorded into them some radio loops from the X Audio Systems Beats FM (Radio/Filter/Delay unit). The added drumbeat is from a Yamaha RX15 drumcomputer.
With the Q-Link encoders on the MPC X i control the level of the 8 audiotracks and some effects as well.
Direct stereo recording with mastering.

SFUK 2023 - From DX7 to MODX+ - 40 Years of FM Synthesis

video upload by Sound On Sound magazine

"From DX7 to MODX+ [40 Years of FM Synthesis]

Filmed at SynthFest UK 2023

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Yamaha DX7, Sound On Sound podcaster and music technology journalist, Rob Puricelli, reflected on the history and legacy of this game-changing instrument.

Rob was also joined on stage by celebrated FM programmer from America, Dr. Manny Fernandez, who demonstrate the impact of FM synthesis and how it has been implemented over the last four decades using a range of classic and modern FM synthesizers on stage.

There was also a demonstration of the Yamaha Computer Assisted Music System (Y-CAMS) which wowed audiences with the power of an FM-based, MIDI connected suite of tools."

Yamaha CS-30 analog synthesizer SN 2465

via this auction

"Original vintage Yamaha CS-30 mega analog synth in gorgeous condition, complete with factory case! The 30 was Yama’s ultimate analog monster mono, a true behemoth, with a mind boggling expanse of knobs, faders, and buttons. A labyrinthian landscape of independently routable, endlessly tweakable controls; more like a UFO cockpit, or some knob-barnacled abysmal Leviathan than the familiar Moog, minimoog, or arp odyssey of the era!

Each OSC, LFO, ADSR, filter, even the sequencer, is routable in maniacal ways, very much like an internally normalled Modular synth, with variable controls for all sorts of wacky shit, even the glissando, and pitch bend. Deep. Deep. Deep.
Of course it does all of the classic Moog-ish basses, leads, and effects, but there’s so much power under the hood, it’s easy to get to another universe pretty quickly. I’d recommend consulting your local bud-tender for a strain that will compliment the experience.

This is a rare, original 100v non-export model. I’m happy to include a USA step-down transformer on request. Enjoy!"

Yamaha CS-15: Duophonic improv w/ Korg SQ-1 - 2 separate voices in one monosynth

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"A simple melodic experiment with the two-voice architecture of the vintage Yamaha CS-15 from 1979. This synth has two separate pairs of control inputs to address two VCO's, filters and ADSR envelopes, each with a VCA. Voltage control uses the less popular Hz/Volts system, also employed by early Korgs such as the MS-20, which is why the SQ-10 sequencer supports it (since the MS-20 Mini re-issue also adopted it).
The range of reachable notes is limited using this sequencer, at least in the lower range, but I was surprised how well it worked, immediately after hooking up the CV A and CV B outputs to the CS-15's VCO 1 & 2 inputs, followed by the GATE A & B outs to the EG 1 & 2 ins. In the next CS-15 video I'll experiment with using the two-voice function in a slightly different way, with another popular sequencer. After that I'll probably focus on using it entirely as a monosynth with some sound examples.
The CS-15 is an odd synth - being able to divide it up into two (albeit very simple) monosynths is very unusual. In fact, I titled the video 'duophonic', which is debatable: The Arp Odyssey is famous for having a duo function, where the pitch of the two oscillators can be divided by the keyboard, but still sharing the same filter, envelope and VCA, and as such not creating two entirely separate voices. The CS-15 is more polyphonic in potential, and so a controller capable of polyphonic voice allocation could use it as a two-voice polyphonic synth. Not especially useful given the single oscillator per voice, but neat nevertheless.
What is most strange is that there is only one shared audio output, meaning that the two voices can't be processed individually. Stranger still is that the larger CS-30/CS-30L has individual outputs for both voices, but does not have separate control inputs for them! It's almost like the design blueprints for both synths somehow got mixed up in the factory.
However, with 2 fully-featured multi-mode filters (low pass/band pass/high pass), two full ADSR envelopes, which can be assigned to any combination of both filters and both VCAs, individual LFO level to pitch and PWM on both oscillators, white noise or external audio input, with Glide AND pitch bend... this really was a highly flexible/capable, well-designed, and well-constructed synth for the time. Important to note though, is that the filters will not self oscillate at high resonance levels, a bit like the early Oberheim SEM etc. The filter mode switches on mine are a little temperamental, probably a sign of age/need of servicing, but otherwise it's built like a tank.

I make videos to promote myself as a musician, and sell music on Bandcammp, which earns a few pennies to help fund what I do. My music can be found here: https://tomorrowthecure.bandcamp.com"
