Yamaha CS10
 

Anyone know if these are any good?



Hollowcell, you have one yeah???

Thinking about picking one up...

Cheers,

I've been playing with one. They sure are great sounding machines acctually. I didn't think they wouldn't sound so good. The filters are _great_ (Then again, i am used to Reason's 3.0 filters so..) The oscillators are really great aswell but then again it was a CS10 that has been in the repairshops the last month so.. Well. In overall i really liked what i heard i'd love to own a cs-x0 someday aswell

The cs10 is a great analog bass synth dou to his fast and punchy evelope.
If you get a good deal on it,go for it! :D

One of the most underated analogues out there, with one of the most aggressive filters - and considering you can run an external input into it, you get a cheap analogue filter box too! The bass that can come from this thing is warm and full. Amazing what a single OSC can do.

Go to my soundclick site and look for the CS10 demos there. Only a taste of what it can do.

Run it through a distortion and delay and you're in heaven.

Be carefull though Jase - you will be opening a can of worms getting an analogue.

Yeah...I know! I got a taste of good analogue design with the Studer console.

It's not cheap (CS10) but it looks in good nick. From Japan actually....

I might just bite the bullet and grab it. My GAS is really starting to hurt!

is this the one? :wink:
250 dollars aprox is not that expensive IMO.

Hollow,did you get this one midified with a kenton kit or are you using some new analog machine as a cv\gate box?

yeah...thats the one!

It is around 80GBP for shipping though, pushing the price up to around $600 AUD ($US 451)

Im in two minds whether to get it or not. DAMN GAS!!!!!

450 dollars is rather a high price to pay for the cs10...
2 midify it will cost you another 80-100$ ...
You can get an sh101 for half the price i belive.
But then again if your gas is uncontrolable go for it. :D

Niether. I just play straight from the keyboard on the thing.

Although with some of those demos on my soundclick page, I recorded straight into the sampler, then triggered the samples with an appegiator, but running the outputs of the sampler back into the CS10's input - got a double pass of the filters that way and also gave me a computer synced feel. It's actually a reasonable keyboard to play live (for bass of course).

That is pretty steep for one Jase. I got mine in mint condition (never loses tune at all and no scratchy knobs or anything) with an original hard case for around $120aus if I remember correctly - fucking bargin though!!! Recently the prices do seem to be going up on them for sure, but still $450us is pricey.

Maybe let me know before the next ausi trip as it's too late to grab one now. :D I have to stop in at Sydney before heading to my home town, so maybe we could work something out.

EDIT: Of course as the PSUs are inside the things, you'd have to grab a transformer or something if buying from overseas Jase.

Thanks for the offer! But I already succumbed to the GAS and bought it. :) It was expensive, but in the end it's an old analogue mono, and worth it for me.

yeah...I got a heap of them lying around cos of all the US purchases I got.
