Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Yamaha CS01II mods questions

2006-10-31 by Jez

I used to have a CS01 and I deeply regret having let it go. The PWM
Bass is simply awsome. If that really is a Mk2 you've got, then that
is quite a rare beast.

I would midi it up using a Kenton Midi -> CV interface. This would
give you control over the oscillator (=> pitch/LFO) and leave the LFO
for the filter.

Common mod for a Mk1 was to replace the resonance switch with a pot,
giving more control and more extreme resonance. But the Mk2 has this
already.
