CS-30
MEMBERSHIP 8,7 EUR
CS-30 is a totally techno oriented loop & instrument Live Pack based on the rare CS-30, a monster of a synth, the flagship model of Yamaha's vintage line-up of mono synthesizers.
Released by Yamaha in 1977, the CS-30 is a massive analog synth with a highly-tweakable, knob-filled interface. Designed for experimental synthesis, it’s a hugely flexible sound-tank with complex routing facilities, capable of generating sounds otherwise only achievable with big modular synths using wires. A very inspiring instrument for serious electronic music, used by artists like Carl Cox, 808 State, Mathew Jonson, and Depeche Mode.
The black techno tank
The Yamaha CS-30 is a fully analog synthesizer featuring 2 oscillators with PWM and Ring Modulation capabilities, 2 multimode resonant filters, 3 assignable envelopes, one LFO and a stunning analog 8-steps sequencer. The two filters, combinable in serial or parallel, can be swept using separate envelopes and modulated by the LFO and the step sequencer. The three envelopes can be also assigned to the LFO and the step sequencer for very unusual, radical modulations.
The Live version of CS-30 has been designed to perfectly fit into your Ableton Live. All the included devices can be directly installed in your "Packs" section and previewed when selected in the Live browser. They have also been organized in Live standardized categories so that you can find them also in the browser's "Categories" section. Moreover, all the sounds included in CS-30 have similar perceived volumes and feature 6 macro controls templates with volume compensation to avoid unwanted distortions.
The Kontakt version of CS-30 includes PRIMUS, a virtual instrument with an ultra-friendly interface and a solid set of synthesizer parameters. All the sounds included in CS-30 can be easily selected using the Waveform menu and then tweaked using 25 different filters with cutoff and resonance, one multishape LFO assignable to Filter, Volume and Pitch and two envelopes for filter and amplifier. PRIMUS implements also a Glide effect, a Unison with up to 4 stacked voices and a set of built-in effect. MORE INFO HERE
