A
monophonic analog synthesizer with a 37-note
keyboard. Manufactured between
1979 and
1983.
CS-5 is the
low end model of the CS series. It offers one
VCO with
sliders to control the amount of
sawtooth and
pulse waveforms, plus a
white noise generator.
As a
filter there is a
resonant 12
dB/
octave multimode VCF switchable between high-, low- and band-pass. It features an
external input for filtering outside sources, and also for
triggering.
A single simple envelope generator is included, affecting both the VCF and the
VCA. The
LFO is used for
PWM and offers
sample/hold for
random notes.
The
CS-15 is basicially two CS-5:s stacked together, making it a more appealing
unit due to its 2-
oscillator sound.
