The Yamaha CS1x is a
sample-based
synthesizer released by the
Yamaha Corporation in 1996. Aimed primarily at
dance musicians, the CS1x features
analogue synthesizer-style
rotary controllers and
monotimbral synth voices.
[1]
The CS1x was succeeded in 1999 by the
CS2x synthesizer.
The CS1x uses the Yamaha Sample and Synthesis technology, as well as General MIDI and XG voices from the MU-50 module. [1]
The CS1x employs various arpeggiator presets and effects such as reverb, chorus (including flanging and celeste) and "variation" (a combination of reverbs, delays, modulation effects and equalisation). [1]
The Yamaha CS1x can be expanded with a small sequencer workstation module. The CS1x, CS2x and AN1x synthesizers all have a small lip on the right hand end of the front panel to accommodate a QY or SU sized module.
