Yamaha - Reface CS
Virtual Analogue Synthesizer
Innovation Powered by TraditionThe Yamaha Reface CS is a virtual analogue synthesizer inspired by the beloved CS-80 polyphonic analogue synthesizer. The Reface CS mobile mini keyboard features five different styles of synthesis and onboard effects, offering you a wide range of pads, huge bass and singing leads. Each type of synthesis features its own set of Texture and Mod sliders, offering tons of tweakability that takes simple oscillator types and enables you to turn them into subtle soundscapes, intense sonic variation and more. The original CS-80 is renowned by many, and the Yamaha Reface CS mobile mini keyboard is certain to gain the same reputation.

Waves
>Multi-SawMulti Saw creates a typical synthesizer sound based on sawtooth waveforms. The term "Multi" stands for the possibility to layer multiple waveforms.
>PulsePulse produces a basic synthesizer voice by using square waves. Two square waves with different pitches can be layered to make the sound more complex.
>OSC SyncThis generates voices having two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2), with OSC2 locked in sync with OSC1. Intense harmonics can be generated by changing the pitch and tone of OSC2, making it possible to create highly distinctive, dazzling sounds.
>Ring ModCreate voices by multiplying the signals from two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2). Metallic-sounding voices with no distinct pitch can be created by changing the pitches of the oscillators.
>FMProduce voices using two oscillators (OSC1 and OSC2), with the frequency of OSC1 modulated by OSC2. This makes it possible to create voices with intense harmonics such as those of the Yamaha DX7 and other FM synthesizers.
Controls
LFOThe [DEPTH] and [SPEED] sliders control modulation speed and intensity. Along with standard LFO uses, you can create interesting sound effects using extreme settings.
EGEG/FEG slider controls how much the Envelope affects Amplitude or Filter. The"zero" position (AEG) means the Envelope only affects Amplitude. Asthe slider is moved upwards, the more influence the Envelope has on the Filter. In the middle position the effect on Filter and Amplitude is the same.
FILTERReface CS features a resonant low-pass Filter (18 db). The Cutoff slider adjusts the Filter from follow closed (0) to wide open (127) while the Resonance slider adds harmonics at the Cutoff point. The filter can even self-oscillate creating different kinds of synth sound.
EFFECTThe onboard effects processor has five effect types to add depth to your sound. Use the Type slider to select the desired effect. Depth determines the effect's intensity (also known as "Wet/Dry"). The Phaser and Chorus/Flanger are powered by Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology.
PORTAMENTThe reface CS Portamento slider has two functions. It controls the typical Portamento effect: switching reface to 8-note polyphonic to 1-note monophonic and controlling Portamento time in monophonic mode.
