It's interesting that Yamaha had three distinct CS lines of synths. There's the CS5, CS10, CS15, and CS30 mono synths, the CS20M, CS40M, and CS70M, the CS50, CS60 and CS80 and of course the grand daddy of them all... The kick ass CS1X! - well, it actually is a fun little synth for the money. If you ever wondered what the CS70M sounded like, title link takes you there. There are a couple more shots as well. So why did Yamaha do this?

Title link takes you there. Mov link is at the bottom of the page.

Update via Fiercefish on AH:
"A few folk have enquired if the 606 is modded so here is how the clip was recorded.

The 606 is actually unmodded but it is going into a 4" Yamaha mono powered monitor via the mix in of the 303, the way it sounds is due to the way the mic in the Sony Clie picked it up when recording. I'd recommend miking the 606 thru a small speaker though as it can sound quite good. Also the phasey type character to the sound is due to me moving the Clie whilst recording. There was no fx or eq used either, it was literally 606-> 303 mix in, 303 out -> Yamaha powered monitor -> Sony Clie UX50 PDA mic."

I've been wondering what happened to Moogulator's Sequencer.de as I haven't been getting any new posts on my bloglines feed. Moogulator asked me to update his link directly to sequencer.de. For some reason I didn't make the connection that the blog feed might change as well, so... I missed quite a bit. Title link takes you to Sequencer.de. Check it out. There are quite a few posts including the Dewtron synthesiser Apollo A1 + Gipsy. Gotta like that. : )
