Fetter Analog Sound!!! Gerade die Modulierbare PWM klingt sehr breit. Der Zustand ist Sehr Gut.” Link

Angeboten wird ein monophoner Analogsynthesizer aus den frühen 1980er Jahren. Der CS-01 sieht mit seinen Mini-Tasten zwar ein bisschen aus wie ein Spielzeug, kann aber dank PWM und Analogfilter ziemlich fette Lead- und Bass-Sounds produzieren. Dank Batteriefach und Gitarrengurtknubbeln kann man ihn sich auch als Keytar umhängen.

Bei dem hier angebotenen Exemplar wurde mit einem Kit von highlyliquid.com ein MIDI-Eingang nachgerüstet. Damit kann der CS-01 über externe Sequencer oder Keyboards angesteuert werden. So kann man ihn über seinen gesamten Tonumfang spielen, während das interne Keyboard nur zweieinhalb Oktaven umfasst. Die Funktionalität des eingebauten Mini-Keyboards beeinträchtigt der Umbau in keiner Weise. Es musste aber der interne kleine Lautsprecher entfernt werden, um Platz für das MIDI-Kit zu schaffen. Kein großer Verlust: Der Lautsprecher klang eh ziemlich mies.

Das Gerät ist gebraucht und hat ein paar Kratzer, ist aber voll funktionstüchtig. Auch der Batteriefachdeckel ist noch dabei – die gehen ja gern mal verloren.

Selbstabholer in Berlin willkommen. Fragen bitte vor dem Bieten stellen! Der Verkauf erfolgt von privat und unter Ausschluss jeglicher Gewährleistung.

Schaut Euch auch meine anderen Auktionen an, ich räume gerade ein bisschen mein Studio aus und biete noch andere schöne Musikspielzeuge an. Viel Glück beim Bieten!

Yamaha CS-01 with MIDI retrofit

Up for auction is an analog monophonic synthesizer from the early 1980s. The CS-01 may look a bit like a toy, but it can produce some fat bass and lead sounds. It can run on batteries and has holders for a guitar strap – so you can strap it on like a keytar.

This particular unit has been retrofitted with a MIDI input kit by highlyliquid.com, so it can be played by external sequencers or keyboards. This way you can play its entire tonal range, while the internal keyboard only has two and a half octaves. The mod does not affect the functionality of the internal keyboard in any way. But in order to make room for the MIDI kit, the CS-01′s internal speaker had to be removed. Not much of a loss – it sounded pretty awful anyway.

This CS-01 is in used condition and has some scratches, but is fully working. It comes complete with its original battery lid. ” Link

Does not come with a power adapter but it does have batteries.” Link

Und Beste Bass Fur Dubstep Ideal

Zusammen mit Breath Control hast du unglaubliche luft control an VCF klang.” Link

One note: it is best not to leave the batteries in this CS-01 if you will be using the power adapter. The batteries can get really hot as a result.” Link

absolutely no functional issues whatsoever exist. however, there is one cosmetic issue: a large scratch to the right of the keyboard (see last picture). i have no idea how this happened, as i bought it like that. but other than being a bit unsightly, its no real cause for concern.

i don’t have the power adaptor, manual or breath controller, unfortunately. but i’m 99% sure you can buy a power adaptor for it at radio shack and anyway, it’s made for use with batteries so play it that way! ” Link

I have owned this synthesizer since I bought it new in 1982. Some wear to the the box but the keyboard and breath controller in excellent condition.

All functions working although I wasn’t able to test it with a power adapter as there wasn’t one included (tested on batteries)

Hardly ever used.” Link

I have not been able to check all the functions and the item will be ‘sold as seen’ – no return available if the functions I have not checked do not work. Buy at your own risk.

Functions checked and in good working order:

- Battery power
- All dials / sliders / switches (except breath control dials)
- All keys
- Headphones output

Functions NOT checked:

- Line out
- DC in
- Breath control (input and dials)

Damage:

- Battery cover is missing (although the batteries do not fall out)
- Two rubber feet on base are missing
- Tippex / pen markings on keys and slider scales – these should be easy to clean these off
- Generally a bit grubby
- Wear to silver colour on corners and edges
- Breath controller is NOT included.” Link

Der Synthesizer ist Made in Japan. Läuft auf Batterie oder handelsüblichem 12 V Netzteil bzw. Multinetzteil (Netzteil ist nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten). Anschlüsse 2x Klinke (6,5mm), Netztei und natürlich der Anschuss für Breath Control.

Gebrauchsanweisung kann auf Wunsch als PDF per Email geschickt werden (in englischer Sprache).

Im Lieferumfang enthalten ist alles was auf dem ersten Foto zu sehen ist.

Das Gehäuse weist einige leichte Kratzspuren auf. Fotos davon sende ich auf Anfrage gerne zu. ” Link

Note this is the Mk1 version with a grey case and a 12db filter with switchable resonance from Low to High settings.

Cosmetically in good condition – a few light scratches as you would expect for a synth of this age – the most obvious one is under the PWM Speed slider (see photos).

All knobs keys and sliders etc. working as they should. The battery compartment looks clean but I’ve only ever used it with a power supply. I don’t have a breath controller so haven’t been able to test if the breath control functions work but assume they should be fine.

No manual or original box. I don’t have the original power supply and have just run it using a standard 12v power adaptor which seems to work fine (which I can include if you ask me to – please remember to do so when you pay for the item).” Link

Ich löse mein kleines Heimstudio auf, deshalb biete ich hier den Synthesizer Yamaha CS01 an. Das Gebrauchtgerät hat 32 kleine Tasten, einen eingebauten Lautsprecher und kann mit Batterien oder Netzteil betrieben werden. Leider habe ich das Netzteil nicht mehr, es ist also NICHT im Lieferumfang enthalten. Es eignet sich fast jedes Universalnetzteil (Input 220V, Output 12V 300mA).

Der Synth ist nur einstimmig/monophon spielbar und besitzt ein VCO, VCF, LFO, VCA und EG (siehe Bilder). Ferner sind zwei Modulationsräder vorhanden: Pitch Bend und Modulation. ” Link

Don’t let it’s size fool you. This little monosynth puts out a mean 50/50 duty cycle square wave bass sound. very similar to the SH-101 tonality.

This particular unit is the MKII version featuring a 24db lowpass filter (rather than the 12db filter of the MKI) as well as a proper Resonance slider rather than just a High/Low switch.

This unit functions 100%. No scratchy pots or sliders. Feel free to do a youtube search on “Yamaha CS-01″ to hear what these units can do for yourself.

It comes with the guitar strap pegs installed. No power supply is included, it runs off 12v DC @ 300mA but you can find the proper unit at any local radio shack or proper electronics store.

I personally always used it with batteries. No rusting or battery leakage in the compartment.

ALSO, this unit comes with a Highly Liquid CS-01 MIDI kit to retrofit midi control for the unit. It is a complete kit, unistalled. Any competent technician could easily follow the instructions to install it. I personally never had the time. ” Link

Der Synth ist nur einstimmig/monophon spielbar und besitzt ein VCO, VCF, LFO, VCA und EG (siehe Bilder). Ferner sind zwei Modulationsräder vorhanden: Pitch Bend und Modulation. Die Version 2 dieses Gerätes hat im Vergleich zum Vorgänger keinen Resonazschalter (Hi, Lo), sondern einen Resonanzregler.

Der CS01 II besitzt einen Eingang für einen Breath Controller. Da ich einen solchen nicht besitze, kann ich dessen Funktion nicht überprüfen. Deshalb verkaufe ich den Yamaha-Synth vorsichtshalber als DEFEKT. Ansonsten funktioniert das Gerät, es weist normale Gebrauchsspuren auf (siehe Bilder). Die Schieberegler sind nicht ausgeleiert, knacksen aber an manchen Stellen ganz leicht. Neben dem Anschluss für ein Netzteil, sind noch ein Line Out und ein Kopfhöreranschluss vorhanden (beides große Klinke).

Und wie klingt das Teil? Wie bei allen monophonen Synthesizern liegt der hauptsächliche Schwerpunkt auf Bass- und Leadsounds. Natürlich kann der “Kleine” nicht mit einem Minimoog mithalten, aber man kann ihm durchaus interessante und satte Klänge entlocken. Einfach mal auf einer bekannten Videoplattform (you…) suchen, dort findet man einige Soundbeispiele. Besonders der User syntezatory (pl) schöpft das Klangspektrum voll aus, erstaunlich was er aus dem CS01 II holt.” Link

This item is in very good condition for its age, still in its own original box and in full working order. It’s a great piece of kit with a wide range of sounds and effects. Being lightweight (for something like this) and very portable it is ideal for someone into serious sounds or for someone who just wants to have some fun.

The unit requires either 6 AA batteries or a mains adaptor – neither are supplied.” Link

IN FULL WORKING ORDER

IN VERY GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AN 1980′S SYNTHESIZER

INTERNAL SPEAKER AND LINE OUT FOR AMPLIFIER (SOCKET FOR HEADPHONES)

MINI KEYS

RUNS ON BATTERIES AS WELL AS MAINS

GREAT SOUNDS AS USED BY MANY PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS” Link

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IT IS A LITTLE BEATEN UP COSMETICALLY (FROM STORAGE OVER THE YEARS AND HAS NOT BEEN TREATED ROUGHLY OR DROPPED) BUT AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT SEEMS TO BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF CRACKLING THROUGH THE INBUILT SPEAKER WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF AND ON SOME OF THE SLIDERS (I GATHER THIS IS PRETTY COMMONPLACE) ALTHOUGH THE MORE I HAVE PLAYED THIS HAS PRETTY MUCH STOPPED, I PRESUME BECAUSE IT HASN’T BEEN USED FOR SO LONG. A LITTLE CONTACT CLEANSER WOULD REMEDY THIS IF YOU HAD THE INCLINATION.

I HAVE CLEANED IT UP AS BEST I CAN WITH CANNED AIR AND ANTI-BACTERIAL WIPES AND IT REALLY IS AN AMAZING LITTLE SYNTH. ALL THE KEYS AND FUNCTIONS SEEM TO BE FINE ALTHOUGH I AM NOT AN EXPERT. ” Link

It’s been virtually untouched for the last 26 years and everything’s still in absolutely perfect working order. With some regret I’ve decided I might as well sell it to someone who’ll appreciate it for what it is – a great, retro sounding, genuine 80′s synth.

It’s in excellent condition – there’s only a few minor marks to the finish, mainly on the underside, and comes in it’s original packaging and box, together with the User’s Manual. There’s even the bill from ‘Windows’ of Newcastle dated 2 June 84!

It runs on mains (adaptor included – though not an original) or 6 AA size batteries.” Link

This unit has been very well look after and is in excellent condition. It also includes the original carry bag! All buttons and faders are 100% operational and are not noisy or scratchy at all” Link

Works with Power Supply ( included in this sale : 12v DC ) ( never actually even tried it with batteries )

Includes Users Manual as PDF on CD ROM

Battery cover missing ( this went missing years ago , but have always used it with power supply )

It is in working condition but has a few issues which i’ve listed below :
( im sure somebody with a bit of electronics knowledge could sort it , but that sort of thing is beyond me )

In the VCO section it wont select up to 4′ feet and also won’t select the triangle waveform , although this still leaves Sawtooth , Square & rectangle waveforms working ok and the PWM.
Finally the Frequeny cut off no longer does anthing ( as you know this is the one that gets the use , but again can probably be sorted if you know what your doing )

Other than those issues it plays & sounds fine . ( and not too bad cosmetic condition for age – see pics )
I have tried to test it to the best of my ability & be totally honest with its functionality” Link

Welcome to my auction. You are bidding on:

A Yamaha CS01 Synthesiser

Soft Carry Case and Box

User Manual and a Yamaha book called synthesisers

A new and unused MIDI Kit from Highly Liquid (requires fitting, for instructions see http://highlyliquid.com/kits/cs01-midi/)

Synth is in very good condition with a few tiny marks.

Only problem is that 6 of the keys do not appear to be working (Lower C Sharp to F Sharp)
I have just pulled this from the cupboard to test before sale and think there maybe a loose connection (could be easy fix for someone with electronics knowledge)

I purchased the MIDI Kit from highly liquid and was planning to pay someone to fit the kit and repair the synth, but I need some money now so it has to go.” Link

The CS-01 is a very old but classic analog monosynth from Yamaha. Although originally designed for use by novice musicians or first time synth-buyers,
the CS-01 has been recognized by today’s electronic musicians as one fat little bass machine with simple controls.

In a nutshell, the CS-01 is simple to use and edit but still has some great features for any situation. It’s tiny and portable, it has baby-sized keys and it can
run on batteries, and there is a built-in amplifier and speaker which is quite fun.

As for sounds and synthesizing, the CS-01 is the perfect monosynth for bubbly and growling bass! It features a very nice 12dB resonant VCF filter.
In addition to the oscillators’ sine and square type waveforms there is PWM and noise.

There are also LFO controls, glissando (like portamento), a typical ADSR envelope generator, pitch & mod wheels and even a breath controller input.

The unit is sold as seen, un-boxed and without either a manual or a power supply. It will run quite happily with an off the shelf 12 volt power supply and
the unit is so straightforward that a manual is really not necessary.” Link

It is in excellent condition… Fully working and includes the BC1 Breath Controller and original power supply. I don’t have the manual, but, to be honest, you don’t need it. Its all pretty self explanatory.

Its a great little single oscillator synth. This mark 2 version features an improved 24db resonant filter (which self-oscillates) with adjustable slider control over resonance instead of switchable on/off resonance as found on the original.” Link

I am listing this as faulty, however, it has been used in my studio with no issues up till a few months ago when the dc input socket became dodgy, this gradually got worse and it now wont power on.

I have taken it apart as i know a bit about electronics and i think it is the power ic on the power stage that has blown due to the dodgy dc input socket.

I have spoken to yamaha and obtained the 2 part nos for both of these parts and they come to a total of 10 pounds.

I am listing this item as faulty as i can not guarentee that these parts will 100% fix it but i am confident that anyone who knows a little bit about electronics will be able to fix it.

its an awsome little synth when working and a collectible classic. I would hang on to it, but it has been hanging around my studio for a while now and it looks like im just never going to get round to ordering the parts and trying to fix it, which is why i have chosen to list it.

i will provide the part nos which i think are faulty with the sale and the service manual can be found online” Link

Runs off of batteries – I’ll leave them in so you can get cracking straight away. Has a little speaker – mini keys but great sounds esp the PWM” Link
