BottomEndian Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) [b]***SOLD*** ***SOLD*** ***SOLD***[/b] I have a Yamaha CS2x keyboard/synth that's not getting used, and it's too big for the meagre desk-space I have for my impending DAW setup, so it's gotta go! I got it new in around 2003ish, and it's been well looked after. I'll take some pictures later on, if people are interested. I can't see any marks on it though, and everything is in perfect working order. [url="http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs2x.php"]Some info (and picture) at the Vintage Synth Explorer[/url] [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar99/articles/yamahacs2x.htm"]Original Sound on Sound review[/url] The onboard sounds are fine-to-good, and the Performance mode is a lot of fun, but what it does do well is the role of nice, chunky MIDI controller. If your DAW can assign incoming MIDI signals to on-screen controls (and I guess most can these days), you can assign the knobs on the CS2x to various parameters in (say) a VST synth and control things like cutoff and resonance in real time. The keys play nicely for a non-weighted board, although there's no aftertouch capability. Anyway, [b][s]£120 delivered in the UK[/s] ***SOLD***[/b], including original PSU, manual and data list booklet. A modest outlay for a real '90s dance' vibe.

Truckstop Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Innit! I have the CS1x. Wicked little synth. Pounding out some proper Dubstep rhythms last night through my GK (bumped up the dirt) and a pair of Torque 4x10's. Put it through my Clone Theory too to get a bit of wobble. Sounded insane!
