    Sadly, a non-copywrong owner chose to claim the song. You can tell if the wrong group claimed copyright if the claimant gets the pertinent information wrong, especially since the artist is incorrect (London Music Works is not the artist). I'd dispute the claim. Tell them that the original artist is not the artist specified by claimant group. Of course, whether it's worth the trouble to attempt to dispute an incorrect claim, that's up to you, and it seems you've already decided in this regard. Yes, I call it copywrong; I mock the whole thing because it was patented in faith but implemented and enforced in a supportive role to greed and avarice. It's trash. It only pushes me to place all my creative works in the *_public domain_* outright. Better that than...

    I really liked my CS but the lack of any velocity control or even keyboard tracking on the filter made its expressive abilities and dynamics rather limiting and flat sounding a lot of the time. It bugged me to the point where I eventually ended up selling it. Such a shame on an otherwise brilliant little board, what else on the market offers a keyboard synth as portable and well-built as this with a mini-keybed response miles ahead of the competition?

Also, mine has a "wiggle" on the middle, so it can sit out of tune unless I carefully adjust it. I've read some posts online, leading me to believe this isn't uncommon though. The build quality overall feels really great though. It feels like a professional piece of gear. I'm probably selling mine. I wanted it to recreate some of the wonderful sounds Vangelis used on the Blade Runner soundtrack, and unfortunately, that's too complex for this little machine.

    As with everything, things evolved. Early synths will always sound retro but futuristic at the same time, probably due to their use in sci-fi movies, shows etc. But now that we are in the future, we indeed have a vast variety of synth sounds, scattered across so many genres of (not only) electronic music, and all those became hugely accessible to almost everyone (with free DAW's, plugins, cheap hardware etc). Of course many sounds that were pioneered at that 80s time kinda remained the same till now because they were so cool - supersaws and stuff, but we also have a lot of new sounds from granular synthesis, physical modelling and of course a new arsenal of "futuristic" instruments with MPE expression, etc that change the game constantly.

    The CS is great. The design choices for its "minimum control set" are inspired. It is very quick to get great sounds. I use MIDI-OX for saving patches but that's only in case I need to recreate them - generally I start from scratch. It has tons of mojo and is usually the first synth I reach for even if ultimately I plan to replace the part with a synth that's slower to program. If all my gear got stolen, the CS is the very first I'd replace!

    The Reface CS is *fine,* but the only thing it shares with the legendary CS synths is just the name. They're two completely different ballparks. Slap some chorus on board and I almost want to say it's got this baby Juno thing going on, but from two totally different companies haha. The thing about not being able to save presets is very much a non-issue. Analog subtractive synthesis is dead simple to the point that you can even recreate patches from famous albums with stunning accuracy. You're expected to have a functioning grasp of sound design to use it, but I see what you mean.

    You can tell everything you need to know about youtube's attitude to content creators by the 'copyright dispute' function. If you dispute a claim, who decides if your dispute is valid? The same person that made the claim against you in the first place. Any sane dispute system would have independent arbitration. But not youtube, oh no. You basically beg the person claiming against you to reconsider... Tells you everything you need to know. KZread doesn't give a shit. -Video uploaders are presumed guilty by default. - content claimers have no burden of proof to even deminstrate they legally own what they claim to, much less that their claim over your video is correct. - Content claimers are judge, jury and executioner... - the automated claim forms outright refuse to acknowledge that the claimant or youtube could have made a mistake (I ran into a situation of having a claim against my video for something that wasn't even present in the video, and there was no sane way to point out the error) basically everything is so biased towards the people making claims, that the whole thing becomes one massive rort. the law doesn't even factor into it anymore. Claimants have all the rights (even ones that are legally dubious at best), creators have none. a 'dispute' isn't arbitration, as you'd expect. It's begging the claimant to reconsider... Copyright law is irrelevant on youtube; Only youtube's enforcement mechanisms matter. And those only very vaguely approximate a highly bastardised version of actual laws...

    I disagree. This is a simple keyboard that is supposed to be for people who are tired of browsing through presets which are abundant in most synthesizers and are a staple of vst instruments, for beginners and for minamlists. It gives you a more "in the moment" approach to playing music. And if you prefer having presets there's ton of other synths.

    This is what kills my interest in this synth. I believe you can save patches to a PC via MIDI, but would it have been too much for Yamaha to have added the ability to save some patches on the keyboard itself? Having to lug around another device to recall patches, or needing to manually recreate them, kinda detracts from the highly portable and convenient nature of this. Twice the price, but I'd rather go for something like the Minilogue XD.

I might want to be able to switch between different settings (as done in the video) for a multi track song. Or use settings I created weeks ago. Taking a photo of the settings and manually dial things in every-time you want to switch is like having to retype the code of a program you wrote every-time you want to use it.
