New Yamaha CS70M Website

"The CS-70M is yet another unique instrument from the Yamaha. Polyphony is a maximum of 6 (2-oscillator/voice), although it is bi-timbral in two different ways; the keyboard can be split, with a different patch-pair on each half (or the sequencer plays the lower patch-pair and the keyboard plays the upper), or the oscillator pairs can each have a different patch (see below)."

Take 6 iconic vintage synthesizers, carefully restore them, create a massive array of presets and deeply multi-sample them, professionally process and master the sounds, infuse them into the industry proven UVI Engine -- giving you endless sound shaping options, then wrap the results in immaculately prepared GUIs and you've got UVI Vintage Legends.

At UVI we've been producing sound for over 20 years and designing our own software for over 12.

We've found that virtual instruments with a foundation in sampling have a more defined character and distinct sound quality than those based on digital modeling. The trouble with sample-based instruments is that they're typically lacking in expression and flexibility; one sample, one sound.

UVI hybrid instruments are more flexible than a conventional ROMpler and more authentic than a simulation, giving you the best of both worlds. Vintage Legends integrates over 30,000 samples from classic synths into the acclaimed UVI Engine, giving you the distinct character of hardware with the added control, convenience and power of a modern digital instrument.

Taking these classic tones into new sonic territory, the UVI Engine delivers massive unison spreads, abundant polyphony, thick-modeled filters, drive, reverbs, modulation, FX and much, much more. These instruments will never need to be serviced or go out of tune, and they're far easier to lug around than hardware.

SIX POWERFUL VINTAGE MACHINES REVISITED

Vintage Legends comes packed with over 800 presets expertly crafted by our sound design team, giving you a huge library of unique sounds and textures.

Each instrument features an intuitive and evocative GUI with a versatile and easy-to-navigate control set helping you to quickly shape sounds to fit your needs, transform them for wild inspiration or crack open the unit and design your own.

Timeless sounds. Infinitely customizable. Compatible with everything.

◆ UVI CS-M - Vintage Japanese Power
◆ UVI SYNTHOX - The Real Italian Stallion
◆ UVI KROMA - Premier Analog Synth
◆ UVI FMX1 - The Gem of FM
◆ UVI U1250 - Dawn of the ROM Age
◆ UVI ENERGY - Additive Fury (bonus only available in Vintage Legends)

CS-M, SYNTHOX, KROMA, FMX1 and U1250 are available as individual instruments for $99 each.

Roland Jupiter-8

via this auction
"The Roland Jupiter 8 is one of the best sounding and most playable analog polyphonic synthesizers from the 1980's. When it came time for me to purchase my first poly synth I played them all: Prophet 5 and Prophet 10, Rhodes Chroma, Yamaha CS70M, Memorymoog, Oberheim OBXa, everything I could get my hands on. I kept going back to the JP8. It has a great fat sound, live performance playability, relatively stable tuning (after she warms up any drifting is musically realistic and adds to it's warmth), and a voice architecture that lets your creativity stretch beyond it's contemporaries.

Being an avid programmer I found it more flexible than the others with such things as: continuously variable oscillator mixing (unlike the Oberheim), cross modulation, envelope inverting, dual mode filter plus a high pass filter, full featured oscillator modulation, and a very musical arpeggiator. This unit is one of the early ones, purchased in 1983 and well taken care of. It is pre midi and the only modification done to it was to install a detachable power cable. I would assume it to be a 12 bit model due to it's age, which I understand is desireable and reputed to have a thicker sound. The serial number is 141263"

Yamaha CS70M, SK30 and Maxi-Korg

via Adrien

Click here for a super size shot. I was trying to figure out what looked different about the Maxi-Korg. I then realized it's simply missing the label like this one.

Update via Adrien in the comments: "this one should be called 800DV (same instrument)
i believe there was also a model called K3?"

Anyone know the history on these - why the different names and any technical differences?

Kx-PolyM-CSE - Vangelicious - War of giants

Published on Dec 15, 2013 KX77FREE·46 videos

"There are four improvisations linked in the same song, the first is a simple Vangelis like and the others are more KX, I worked on my presets when I found that is interesting to design a CS 80 lead based on two channels for the lead and two channels for the sequencer loop (arpeggiator), made with 2 instances of Kx-PolyM-CSE.
Even if the KX-POLYM-CSE is based on the CS70M, this instrument has a lot expressive features to the main sections (LFO, VCO, VCF, VCA) by using the bend, wheel, joystick, velocity, after touch, matrix, kxmod, CS offset, etc..."

"This is a wonderful example of a classic CS10 and in my opinion I would call it mint or very close to it, it fact the flight case is in superb condition also. If it’s not mint ( I’m struggling to find anything in the form of a scuff or Mark let alone a dent) then it’s definitely a worthy addition to any synth collection. I had this notion once of collecting all of the vintage Yamaha synths in the CS range but Haha who am I kidding?? A CS 80 really? or even a CS 60 or the rare as hens teeth CS70m!! ...not going to happen."
