Sounds awesome

i have thew cs2x though all this in the video will still apply

Preset and 2-operator FM-waveforms, weak samples and Vectory-synthesis. I never felt use for in my music. Yamaha could have made a better effort to never invented the SY-22 and came up with a better followup than the SY-35

cool

It is pretty amazing that Akai could make and release a product as insanely flawed as this on obviously is. That said with some creativity it can be useful.

It might be a dumb question but can awave write the disc image onto an actual floppy if I have an external floppy drive?

Multimode Demo song is fiiiiiire

are you a tekno dj? your soundworld is really really similar to someone who i listen

Just got a K Station for 80GBP. Had to repair top C key. Some knobs missing so ordered similar from AliExpress. One broken fader shaft (Env Release) I've asked Novation UK for a schematic but not heard back yet. I'll end up removing it from circuit to properly measure the value. The Bournes range will likely source a replacement. Then I have to learn about the patch system! The Joy!

Are these your own demo songs? In any case, far more balanced than the pathologically overbassed ones from the otherwise nice AN1x: Some "songs" were so pseudo overbassed like no.real analogue ever sounds like. Like this: "Hey everyone, hear how incredibly warm I'm able to sound!" Anything else but warm but disgustingly artificial. 🤮 ...what of course was the programner's guilt not the instrument's decent basic sound.

All sounds from csx1??

WOW the image quality is great for a video from 1995 👍

Bro I just found mine in the loft

Great video,subbed!

Great Video. There is some noise crunch, for example around 8:38. I have one of these little machines, and mine is similarly noisy, I thought it was just my unit, I’m reassured that it seems universal! Still love the little machine though.

Jonas Steur (Estuera) used the CS1X through most of his career, like in his hit Fall to Pieces

I despise this synth. Yamaha did a really poor job with this synth. To think, Roland brought out the JP8000 earlier the SAME year!

god damn fleshy shell.

Nice Video! I love this Synth and it it is inspiring to program and modify patches on it. I even managet to get a Doom 2016 Saw Sound of it... Here i used only the CS1x with a little bit of post Modulaton Effects and a Playstation Reverb + Guitars to get that 90s Industrial thing if you are interested :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZW2naGBi7KEitU

That intro is fire

This is a revelation to me. Its a long story but i knew a guy who decided to borrow a shit ton of money to buy a bunch of gear for a dream that didnt work out. I remember he had a blue thing which i couldnt pin down. This is it. He even let me do a sample bank with my eps16+. Crazy. Mind blown. 🤣👍👍

The CS1x was my fitst synth and I found it only usable as a MIDI controller. It didn't sound good and the filters where very steppy. Later on I got an Electribe MX-1, which was the right starter synth for me. It's probably still the best groovebox when it comes to the cobination of being intuitive and having great sounds.

XG sounds very cheap and crumpled on HFs. I used it a lot and that sound character finally pissed me off so much so I even can't watch reviews. Zero nostalgy. Put mine to shelf on early VST era and finally donated it to children in need.

I really enjoyed the story you told in the video, but the extreme use of AI contnt is kinda desturbing to be honest. I really dont like it. Feels so alien

When you couple it with an AN1X it really shines. The perfect combo.

Awesome video, love the effort you’ve put into the various scenes, little cameo winks in the posters, and brilliant sounds. Feels like you’ve captured the dreams of my early 20s.

Anyone else find themselves gurning at the four minute mark?

Instant sub, demo tracks are on point

I bought mine when it came out in 1996 and I still use it to date.

My 1st hardware setup: MC-303 and CS2X. Shamelessly copying my nephew and his friend who combined a MC-303 and a CS1X. Wich we then combined together, 2 MC-303 sequencers and a CS1X and a CS2X. My 1st synth was a Yamaha DX 27 or 21 I don't remember wich one, they both were a scaled down DX 7 FM type. Wich is not really interesting for Techno and Trance production. I got a Yamaha RM1X groovebox later on wich rocked !!! The MC-303 is great for the drums and basslines, the TR-909 style drum sequencer is a great tool for programming and controlling drums patterns live. Cool arpeggiators on the MC-303 and the CS1X and the CS2X too. Man I miss this old gear, lots of MIDI cables daisychaining the gear and hours of fun.

Cs1x/cs2x are fantastic synths with lots of depth and a varied arp like the virus series

Must. Make. Distinction. About. Sound. Generation. Sources.... A 'rompler' is banks of samples, played at different pitches, or 'pitched samples'. They deteriorate and change their tuning when played slower and cannot change pitch without changing the length of the sample being played back. A 'wavetable type of sound generation such as AWM is still using a sample but with much more advanced technology, in which, the sample is divided into minute sections, which are routed through oscillators and filters to add the ability to manipulate the initial sample more deeply and retain the tuning and quality when pitched over a larger area of the scale and even retaining the integrity of the original sample over multiple octaves. FM is pure tone generation without a sample being used. So a rompler is cheap and simple sample playback and altering the frequency to achieve different notes, but will degrade or change the sound of tuned too far from the original sample, say around 1 octave.

Im in love with Your new visuals for demo tracks - a full package! Am I correct - Bad Gear inspired?

pls don't use genAI going forward... the slop is distracting me from the great demos!

The white ford bronco at 7:45 actually made me bust out laughing. Nice touch

Great demo tunes.

Great demo. But the timetravel .... right into the feels. Puts a big smile on my face.

David Bowie used the Cs1x live during the time of the Earthling album. Although the head of the childishly famous Bad Gear will put his negative stamp on this instrument, it remains a device that still has a lot to gain from it.

The CS1X shares the same 4Mb XG soundset as in most PSR keyboards plus additional waves. The sound quality is not better than the thin sounding PSR keyboards.

Back, when Florian Pilz had hair... 🧐

Εven now after all these years it still gives me something special in my sound. Many thanks for sharing this great video !! 👌✨

Great video. Well done. You deserve 10 times more views. Great content. Like your channel. Thank you for all the time & effort, videos like these take hours to make and edit. People do not realise the countless hours it takes. And very impressed also as English is not your first language. I have a Crave. I think the Oscillator sounds superb. Very sweet. Very much like my Moog Prodigy or my SC Pro One. Very musical. Behringer also put a sweet Oscillator in the TD-3 which can really kick out some proper low end. I wish Behringer made a 2 x VCO version of this without the patchbay or even the sequencer. I guess the closest to that would be the Model D or Neutron, the CAT or the Pro 1. I have the Pro 800. I don’t like it much, probably because I find it laggy and don’t really like the user interface. DT from London.
