Yamaha CS-30

The CS-30 is a large, knob infested, black analog synthesizer with traditional features. It is a monophonic synth with extensive analog control and shaping. It has two oscillators with separate outputs, two VCF resonant filters, two VCA amplifiers and three envelopes. It also features a ring modulator, external audio triggering and a simple but useful 8-step sequencer for use as a sketch pad, pattern or arpeggio effect. The CS-30 does not have any on-board effects, memory nor MIDI. Although the CS-30 is just a monophonic synth with a short 44 note keyboard it offers a lot of programming flexibility, and plenty of knobs. It's used by 808 State.

Hey! VSE! How about making these Comments editable? So we can edit the most recent one we made to add new thoughts, instead of having to create a new one and pushing the whole comment stack down? That would be a great help.
I'd love to have one of these, the L model in particular with the legs. It would go perfectly with my Alisa 1387. Wonderful complimentary sounds.
