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.

I would be interested in its MID capabilities. Can you do split keyboard on this and send notes out on separate channels? A refiew says that performances can be 13 part mutitimbral
It retails at a good price used and I'd buy one if I can use it as a multitimbral controller for my Waldorf Blofeld. The two should be unstoppable together at creating huge sounding layers. :)

In my time, I have tried/played Roland's, Korg's even Casio's but give me a CS2X every time.
Has to be one of the classic synthesizes of all time. Form sound to easy of use.. it's just class.

A freaking sweet synth filled with much flavour!

Just bought one for 65 EUR. Damaged cosmetically on the left side, D1 key slightly burned and E#1 key doesn't work, otherwise 100% functional - all knobs and buttons perfect. Amazing pads, very solid pianos, not really into techno-dance music / not really impressed with those, but have their purpose. Arrpegio not bad, didn't mastered all the settings yet, but it is great. Knobs combined with sustain pedal offer great performance. Great as MIDI controller (knobs, wheels, keys). Springy-keys are downside, but already got used to them.
