“It’s in good shape, bar some scratches here and there. Also, I am not sure why but the pitch bender isn’t responding (the mod wheel works fine, though, and can function pretty much the same way). It sounds like a dream and is an extremely versatile machine! ” Link

“Today I am auctioning off my Yamaha CS40M Analog Duophonic Synthesizer. It is in great shape for it’s age with some nicks here and there, mostly on the wood sides. It plays great; the keyboard feels really nice when compared to most other synth models of the time (like the horrible feeling keys of the MS20 and the Roland SHs). It has pound for pound the most utility you’ll find on nearly any vintage synth.” Link

“Alle Knöpfe und Regler sind Original-Yamaha und auch VORHANDEN ! Für sein Alter hat er erstaunlich wenig Gebrauchsspuren. Die
augenscheinlichste ist der Funierverlust an der linken Wange, ganz vorne (auf dem Foto ganz links gut zu erkennen).
Es gibt 3 knackende Potis, was jedoch kein Problem sein sollte … Druckluft und Waffenöl wirken manchmal Wunder.
KEINE Brandspuren – das Gerät wurde vor kurzen innen und außen gereinigt !
KEINE bekannten Fehlfunktionen oder Mängel !” Link

super sexy Sound !!!

kann alles von vocal und metal artigen Klängen bis zu den tiefsten Bässen , Detroit Techno Sounds, Dub FX, Leads

Zustand: frisch durchgecheckt, voll funktionierend, 2 Potiknöpfe sind nicht mehr original (aber die schwarzen sehen auch geil aus)
Kratzer in den Holzseiten, aber insgesamt eben einer der schönsten Synths die je gebaut wurden;)” Link

“I lost my job and I need cash. So I need to part with my very rare all analog, true duophonic synth. This piece is in perfect working order. It’s the most solid construction of any synth. ” Link

“Interesting item, but has seen better days!!

Seems to be all there, but have yet to fire the unit up, maybe good for spares, or a restoration project ??” Link

“Der CS-40M ist Mono- / Duophon spielbar, verfügt über 20 Speicherplätze und lässt sich mit einem Hertz/Volt Interface problemlos midifizieren.

Das besondere am CS40M ist sein flexibles und sehr gut klingendes Multimode Filter mit LP,BP und HPF.

Der CS-40M ist sehr schwer und sperrig, daher ist eine Abholung empfehlenswert !

Eine Lieferung im Großraum München ist auch möglich.

Ansonsten wird das Gerät so gut wie möglich verpackt und verschickt.” Link

” Yamaha CS-40M
duophonic synth with memory from classic Yamaha CS line

Two two oscillator voices (huge 4 oscilaltor unison), multimode filter, VCLFO (voltage controlled LFO), classic yamaha ring modulator, memories, huge amount of interfacing (both voices have their dedicated CV/Gate inputs) make the CS-40M a winner in plenty of aspects. Whether you are into the experimental territory or need a synth with refined sound with solid bass end, the 40M is a serious candidate.

Full service has been performed. All of the pots have been restored (very hard and time-consuming process bearing in mind the amount), the keyboard disassembled and serviced, all of the electronics overhauled and final calibration performed. Needless to say, the memory works just as it should. ” Link

“verkaufe gebrauchten Vintage Analog Synthesizer Yamaha CS 40M. Der Synthesizer ist in gutem Funktionsfähigem Zustand. Er ist Duophon und lässt sich mit einem Hertz/Volt Interface Problemlos mit einem Kenton oder EES Interface Midifizieren. Er verfügt über 20 Speicherplätze, die sich aber dann nicht mehr editieren lassen. Das besondere am CS40M ist sein flexibeles und sehr gut klingendes Multimode Filter. LP,BP und HPF. Dazu kommen noch die beiden ungefilterten Sinus Oszillatoren. In Kombination mit Velocity (nur mit zusätzlichem Interface möglich) auf den Filter entstehen ziemlich coole Xpander ähnliche Sounds. Käufer trägt Versandkosten, wobei der CS40M sehr schwer ist. Eine Abholung ist in jedem Falle zu empfehlen” Link

cs40m “For sale is my much loved CS-40M. It is 100% functioning. Cosmetically it is very good with slight marks on the wood and body. There is nothing really noticeable. It really looks great, there is more wood on this synth than most vintage analogs!

Internally the synth is perfect. It was restored by David White of Analog Keys in Cambridge, MA. It is fully working.

This synthesizer is amazing. Fisrt off, it has TWO voices! Making it duophonic. It has a killer CS ring modulator, that sounds like nothing from this world. And most importantly, it has 20!!! patch locations! YES>>> MEMORY!” Link


“In excellent condition with only a few scratches/chips; recently serviced by Advanced Musical Electronics, LA’s premiere synth repair place. Serial No. 2380. We have had it for a number of years and the only reason why we are selling is because we no longer have the room to keep it set up and use it effectively. Weighs a ton; local pick-up in the Los Angeles, CA area welcome. Cashier’s check only. ” Link

“Vintage, in perfect working condition, all buttons and sliders work. Amazing sounds. The previous owner used used it for animation production. The synt loaded with a lot of sounds for animation, but you can build and save your own sounds.” Link
