Yamaha CS-2X Vintage Keyboard Synthesizer cs2x

64 Note Polyphony; 16MB wave ROM including sounds from the EX and RM1X; 256 Preset and 256 User Performances; Full XG/GM compatibility; 8 Control Knobs for easy analog style editing; Slick new cosmetic design The CS2X boasts 64 Note Polyphony and a huge 16MB wave ROM featuring a selection of sampled data from the flagship EX series, the new RM1X as well as a complete XG PCM ROM. And unlike many of the competition's synths in this price range, the CS2X sports 64 true 24 dB resonant filters. You can play up to four Parts simultaneously from the keyboard plus 12 other Parts via MIDI. This mode gives you the ultimate sonic flexibility and tons of big complex sounds for live performance or when you're creating your own sequences. There are 256 Preset Performances and 256 User Performances. Preset 1 is dedicated to synth sounds for techno, hiphop and dance productions and Preset 2 is filled with more traditional workstation style voicing of pianos, organs, brass, guitar and other acoustic instruments. Multi Mode allows you to play sixteen different Parts via MIDI and is optimized for playing GM/XG sequences. The wide selection of 779 Voices and 30 Drum Kits give you maximum sequence compatibility. With the 40 arpeggio types and 10 timing resolution subdivisions available, you can literally get carried away for hours creating a vast array of arpeggios. The Arpeggiator works exceptionally well with an external MIDI sequencer, as the CS2x can either control or be controlled by the clock of the external device. What's more, since the CS2x's Arpeggiator data can be output via MIDI, you can record its note and timing events into a track of the external sequencer, or have it trigger the voices of other MIDI synthesizers or external tone generators.
