Nice work here. The CS-5 is a hidden little gem as compared to some of the more famous monosynths of this era. I have one myself and it's pretty incredible how much weight that single oscillator can have. Quite a beefy little synth. Enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful sounds...I'm looking at getting one soon... thank you for the video

How much are you looking to spend on one?

Nice! I had a CS5 back in the 80's and used it mostly for bass and some special effects. I traded up for a polyphonic piano style keyboard. I kind of wish I still had the CS5, but we have too many instruments for our living space and don't really play any of them enough.

Aphex twin used the cs5 on selected ambient works volume 2 and the cs5 he used was sold with the inner note of the album on the synth

Lovely. Thank you. I don't believe I've seen a CS-5 before.

This is really nice and only this week I dusted off my Korg MS10 and gave it a run. When you add Supermassive these old synths take on a new life. Nice one.

Thank you very much. :) I would love to hear the Korg MS10 and Supermassive.

Lovely, Claus! I was suddenly surprised by your improvisation because it seemed so familiar and then I remembered several ambient textures of mine with the Dreadbox Typhon which used a lot of 9ths in a similar pacing. Very nice!
