Tubbutec shared this video intro to their CeeS upgrade for Yamaha CS5, CS10, CS15, CS15D, CS30 and CS30L synthesizers.
The CeeS adds MIDI input and output, as well as additional filter modulation sources.
Features:
- MIDI input and output
- MIDI CC control of cutoff and resonance. For CS15 and CS30: independent control of both filters
- Additional LFO for each filter with multiple waveforms and optional MIDI clock sync
- Velocity and aftertouch can be linked to cutoff, LFO amount or LFO frequency
- CS30: Sequencer can be clocked via MIDI clock or a MIDI note. Adjustable MIDI clock divider with many options
- CS30: Extended note range for MIDI input
- MIDI CC control of all additional parameters
- Built-in configuration menu to quickly set many additional parameters
- Easy to install: Requires soldering, but no traces need to be cut
- Fully additive: does not change the behaviour or sound of the synthesizer unless desired.
- Low latency: ~1ms
- Optional hardware MIDI controller for hands on control of the additional parameters
- Firmware update via MIDI Sysex
Pricing and Availability:
The Tubbutec CeeS is available now for 167,00 € – 178,00 €, depending on the synth model.
Love Tubbutec, such a cool company! Also the music in their videos is simply incredible
Yamaha should reissue a modern, analog CS-30.
My very first synth was the Yamaha CS-10. It was a great sounding synth for $200 (used). Later in life I had two CS-15’s, CS-15D, CS-01 and my favorite CS-30. Why oh why did I sell my CS-30?!?!?! 🙁
That is awesome, but I need it to go the other way.. I need it to add a CS-30 to my MIDI controller.
