The CS-10 makes a great dance-trance music instrument because it is analog, monophonic, has a really cool filter and is capable of warm bubbly analog bass and lead sounds. A very simple design and layout with plenty of knobs allows for instant gratification! It has one oscillator and a switchable low-pass, band-pass and hi-pass resonant filters. The LFO can modulate the filter cutoff, volume, pitch and VCO. External audio can be routed through the filter and there is portamento that stretches for one octave.
Although MIDI-less, the CS-10 does have CV / Gate which can be converted to MIDI using the proper interface, so the CS-10 works quite well both in the studio or in a live performance. If your into techno, dance or electronic consider the CS-10 as an inexpensive but worthy alternative to other more popular mono-synths. It has been used by Depeche Mode, Astral Projection, the Propellerheads and Moa.
