An 8-voice
polyphonic analog synthesizer with a 61-note
aftertouch sensitive
keyboard. Released in
1977.
The CS-60 is basicially a scaled down version of the
CS-80. It features one
VCO switchable between
sawtooth,
square and
PWM waveforms. There is also a sub-
oscillator with
sine,
ramp up/down, square and
noise.
The
filter section offers
resonant high- and low-pass
VCFs with a simple ADR envelope generator.
An
ADSR EG as well as a separate sine wave oscillator are included on the
VCA.
A
ring modulator is available, and
identical to the one on the
CS-80. It offers controls for
depth (maximum
frequency),
speed,
modulation and attack/decay times.
The internal
memory holds 12
preset instruments, but there is only one
user programmable
patch.
Other features include
global brilliance/
resonance, fine/coarse
tuning,
sustain,
portamento/
glissando and
transposition. Instead of the typical
pitch bend wheel there is a
ribbon controller.
Pedal and external
audio inputs are included in addition to the line/
headphone outputs.
