Up for sale, a 1980s Yamaha CS-5 monophonic synthesizer, freshly serviced and in excellent condition. Younger sibling to the CS-10, the CS-5 is a streamlined iteration, capable of producing quintessential analog bass synth sounds and squishy filtered effects with ease.

Featuring 37 keys with sections for LFO, VCO, VCF, VCA, Mixer, and External audio, the CS-5 is a flexible and intuitive creative soundscape tool. The stepped Feet control has six settings, extending the keyboard range to eight octaves, while the Sample & Hold function allows the player to automatically play a continuous note. A perennially popular monophonic wonder, this genuine vintage example offers easy tweakability and signal path visualization, with a warm, bubbly all-analog circuit, well suited for looming low end and rich buzzy leads.

Extremely clean, there are just a few minor scuffs on the enclosure. The graphics show no wear, and all of the original knobs are present.
