Modified Yamaha CS01 CS-01 Analog Synth


YouTube via rolandsh1000
"This is a brief video demo of a modified Yamaha CS-01 Mk1 battery-powered analog synth. I'm not going through the internal speaker here, but rather using the line-out to a Roland MicroCube amp.

The mods are:
1) expanded resonance and continuous control of the resonance
2) VCA drone mode

Except for the fact that the breath controller will no longer work on this unit (how many folks actually use it anyway?), both are 'non-destructive' mods, which means you can return to stock functionality if you want.

The 12dB low-pass filter on the CS-01 isn't terribly stable at high resonances, which is probably why Yamaha kept the stock setting to be a bit tame.

I make some odd comments here: why am I calling the footages "high sounds?" Please ignore some of the rambling!"

"Yesterday I started working a new track with the ever so talented Rhys Marsh. The track I am working has a slightly indian or middle eastern feel so I brought some of the percussion instruments that would fit into that sonic environment...But. to create an edgier and possibly more modern feel I decided to do some treatments on the Udu drum...which turns out to be the base of the verse rhythm.

If you are curious about the studio and the music that is recorded there please stroll by
