The second generation of the popular CS1x synthesizer is back in a bold and bright new Analog Modeling synth - the CS2x. Many new improvements and enhancements have been made. Polyphony has doubled to 64 voices and there's 16MB of sampled waveforms! There are 64 resonant 24dB filters! The Arpeggiator now holds 40 patterns for animating your sounds. All functions are MIDI capable, even the Arpeggiator can transmit its pattern data to other synths or sequencers! There is even a direct TO-HOST connector for direct hook-up to your computer.

The CS2x is perfect for studio work as well as live performance. Plenty of semi-dedicated and assignable knobs are available for real time analog style editing of all parameters at all times. The ultra-cool Memory Scene buttons from the CS1x are back on the CS2x and can memorize up to 2 current edit parameter settings. The two scenes can also be morphed via the Mod-wheel. Scene memories are saved with your current patch in one of 256 user patches. The CS2x sounds great and is totally suited for making great dance music with lots of hands on control for animated and evolving synth sounds with digital clarity and lots of control! It's been used by Depeche Mode.

@Ricky
Although can't recommend "a source", I just did an ebay search for "1/4 D-shaped instrument knobs", and came-up with several to choose from when like you, decided to replace them because when I am not using this under rated gr8 sounding rompler it stands on its end in a closet where various controllers/synths I rotate out from time to time and knobs would fall right off. The knob's stem is called a type D for it's shape. I placed nice blue anodized metal knobs on mine that actually have a tiny screw to secure them recessed on side of knob. Nice sounds & filters add spice to any arsenal

i should have been more clear below - it is the cs6s that is more fully featured with more layered sounds, however not as warm as this synth which came concurrently with the EX5.
