The little brother to the classic Yamaha CS-80 was the CS-60. Check out this in-depth video tour for a taste of the amazing CS-60!The Yamaha CS lineup from the mid 1970s (CS-50, CS-60 and CS-80) are highly regarded gems in the world of vintage analog synthesizers. Undoubtably the flagship CS-80 gets the most attention, but the CS-60 defintely shares the same sonic flavor as it's big brother.
Our friends over at Synthtopia posted this video from YouTube user "raycastile". He offers an interesting demonstration of the CS-60 - complete with his thoughts on getting the best sound out of classic analog synthesizers.
Enjoy!
