Yes. But as far as I’m concerned, almost any examples of anyone actually “playing” a synth like this with no robotic four on the floor dance beat, beats any electronic dance music.

This really shows that the CS-60 isn't just a synth. It's a canvas, ready to be explored with.

Excellent tutorial! This synth doesn’t sound vintage at all. A few weeks ago I was lucky to get a broken CS60 for almost nothing and managed to repair it! It’s working perfectly now! I’m really proud of it!

This instrument sounds insane

One of the most beautiful sounding synths ever made -- rich, alive, organic, incredibly expressive... the CS-50/60/80 are true treasures, which have never been replicated since IMO. Thank you for sharing this lovely overview.

Yes, I'm aware of DD. It's a great homage and probably as close as one will get to owning a CS-80 without actually owning one, but the original is still tops in my books.

There are so few synths that are instantly recognizable. The CS series are one of them. Just beautiful and unique.

Anybody else hearing old-school autechre with some off these sounds. Excellent video😁

my gosh it sounds fucking amazing

What an amazing sounding synth. You certainly do not expect these sounds to come out of this machine.

What a pleasure to see someone who really knows how to get musical results from a CS-60! It's the difference between a car salesman type overview of the features and a musician expressing how to make synthesizer into an artistic instrument for performance. Really enjoyed this, so thanks for posting!

The Yamaha CS-80, CS-60, and even the CS-50, are some of the most expressive synthesizers of all time, in my opinion. You can't fake it on one of these; they're real "players synthesizers"!

His demos are the best! Made my day, thanks!

Once again, excellent. A rare combination of a technical tutorial made with musical sense. The focus of these series is spot on.

Great demo, in fact - i really love the narration which is uncommon for synthesizer demonstrations. Thank you Mathew!

A thing of beauty. The whole CS series is so expressive and sets itself apart. Great demo!

These vids are basically awesome tutorials / enthousiastic talks about synths. Thanks for sharing Mathew!

I have a similar-condition CS 60 five feet from where I'm typing now :) I've had mine for almost a dozen years. It was apparently in storage for about 30; not a scratch or spot was on it. Double-tracked it can do every sound the 80 can but for the poly-AT. To this day nothing else I've used [polyphonic] beats it's ergonomics, ringmod, PWM and high-pass filter. From the deepest analog ambient washes to the wormiest funk It begs to be played. The limited range of some of the modules can become an advantage when improvising, in that it helps to keep things tidier-sounding when you're really wringing the sucker out in multiple directions over the course of a jam. 45 yrs young, and it's still an incredible idea-realizer.

That s that pure Vangelis sound, man. ;)

Great demo! Now the cs60 just doubled in value ✨😍❤️

Great vid Mathew! Please do a video on the Arp 2600.

sold a cs-60 for fucking 200 DM in 1989. stupid fuck i was.

Kind of unbelievable that these CS models lost out to the Prophet 5 in the poly competition. This is 10x the synth that the Prophet was. I’m guessing the portability was the key factor, but it’s such a shame.

what a machine!

Sounds wicked

thanks teb

Best demo!! Who knew?

Mind blown

I want the CS-80.

Yamaha synths all have a very distinctive sound. To me, they do tend to sound a bit on the "tinny" side if I could describe it that way. This is in no way a bad thing. It's just the distinctive way they sound and they do these kinds of sounds well. They're fantasic for playing leads.

Indeed they do, and I really like that sound. I bought a CS-10 last year, which was made in the same year as the CS-50/60/80 (1977). It's monophonic and pretty basic, but the filter definitely has that Yamaha CS character. It's so quick and easy to dial in a bass or lead sound that effortlessly falls into place in the mix. Also has a great, springy keyboard that feels really good and puts a lot of my newer keyboards to shame.

"It's not an organ, I can assure you"..."it's incredibly organic" ;)

Gorgeous!👍😁🇨🇦

dope!

Yamaha, Roland, Korg, even Behringer.. please watch and give us something new that sounds like this!

Dear Yamaha…please bring the CS-60/80 back! It doesn't have to be physically the same - I'd really appreciate a much smaller, lighter one with preset storage - but above all, every nuance of the sound has to be perfect.

So many lucky people got in on that TTSH ARP clone he has in the background. Id buy one in a minute if they'd fire that program back up

I think this is the better CS from the 50/60/80 series, not as complicated/unstable as the CS-80 and not to cut down like the CS-50.

those all remember me Rocky and Terminators ost!
