Guest d2ba Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 The CS5 talked about in other posts was sold via Peter Forest pforrest@vemia.co.uk via Vemia Peter also was selling a GX1 at one stage but it was withdrawn from auction as the seller changed his mind Link to database here http://www.spheremusic.com/Auctionpastsale.asp a search shows Yamaha Richard D James' CS5, inscribed 140 GBP Near good Uk 2006/03/18 Tip: If you want the ultimate Yamaha CS for the money look for a CS-50 David Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/41374-saw2-and-use-of-yamaha-cs-series-synths/#findComment-914817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest d2ba Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I know Kevin sells to RDJ--eg Synton Syrinx Kevin is another trustworthy seller I would buy from any-day here is web address and contact details http://www.synthfool.com/ David PS Bottom line:- get a couple of good old analogs , an old sequencer eg Korg SQ10 for Korg/Yamaha , MC4 or CSQ-600 for Roland and that will get you a long way The late 70's Yamaha and Roland synths are better built and sounding than the 1980's CEM and SSM based synths Edited January 6, 2009 by d2ba Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/41374-saw2-and-use-of-yamaha-cs-series-synths/#findComment-914974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
enki Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 "Modeless Factory" is the business. Less expensive than most of the other Japanese sellers and he usually performs a pretty extensive refurbishing process on the stuff he sells. Friendly chap, as well.

Guest Diao Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 All early Aphex stuff is laden with Yamaha's DX line FM synthesis patches. Just listen to SAW 85-92 or Polygon/Caustic Window stuff.
