Yamaha CS-01
The Yamaha CS-01 is a compact monophonic analog synthesizer from 1982 with a single voice. It offers simple sound generation capabilities, including a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a resonant low-pass filter, and an envelope generator. What makes the CS-01 unique is its touch-sensitive keyboard, which responds to pressure, allowing for expressive control over the sound. Its built-in sequencer provides basic sequencing capabilities, making it a portable and affordable option for those seeking analog synthesis in a compact form. It has been used in tracks by Pye Corner Audio, Oneohtrix Point Never, Dorian Concept, OMD, and Au Revoir Simone.
