    You made this look like a tv commercial or VHS tape from 1982. It couldn't be more perfect.
    I can't start to imagine how many weeks you have spent on this, but the result is in a league of its own.
    You even found the fonts, specific shades of each color and so many other details that tell me it's from 1982.
    That's actually 14 years before the CS1x was released, but who cares? 1982 was so much better than 1996.

Originally it was just supposed to be a short demonstration of some sound of old classics played on the CS1x, but then the right idea came along… why not make some kind of TV show similar to the ones we used to watch as kids? We are so happy that we were able to convey these feelings and that you enjoyed it so much!!! Special thanks from my wife and I for all your AWESOME compliments :) :) :)

    I had the CS1X when I was young - it was inexpensive but I still had to save pretty hard for it. I loved it because it was mine but I always figured that it was a poor man's synth. I'm surprised to see that it had some kind of following.

    • @KOSmusicovers
      @KOSmusicovers  Год назад +6

      I'm glad that you had the CS1x too... many times mid-range products can surprise you with their capabilities and I must say that in these years that I have learned to use this synth thoroughly, it has amazed me with its versatility and its sound quality. The only thing they could do better is the acoustic piano sounds, but other than that I love it!!! :) :) :)

    I love that you added in the tape noise in the background, perfect editing on this video. I noticed the keyboard uses a DC Jack for power, I always thought this model had a built in PSU and used a IEC style cable to power the keyboard, I very well could be getting it confused with another Yamaha model, I know they made other keyboards that look virtual the same only they are grey in color.

    Love the "Simitar Entertainment" music in the intro. I used to watch a video called "Top Gun Jets" all the time when I was a kid and that music would always get my fired up for what I was about to watch. I was so happy when I was able to rediscover that tape when I finally found it about 15 years ago and I've rewatched it many times since (it's on YT, btw). Even going so far as to find the original tracks of some of the music used on the tape. I would sure love it if a composer were to rescore those songs so I could hear them without radio chatter and jet engine noise (wink, wink).

    Nice video, cool sounds! I have one of these badboys collecting dust in my bedroom. I'm not a keyboard player, and I only bought it in the hope I would be able to use it as a GM/XG module to bring back some of my very old compositions originally created with a combination of a Yamaha SW60 sound card and a Roland XP10 (still have it) back in the late 90s. So far I've done absolutely nothing with the CS1x (besides checking that it works), and I must've had it for five years now... 😄

      SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!! To receive a magnificent comment like this from another CS1x owner is really fabulous!!! Mine too, some time ago, had a key that sometimes didn't play and I solved it by cleaning the contacts of the PCB board and the silicone part. Unbelievable, the same thing happened to me a long time ago, that I discovered that there was a second bank of presets with beautiful sounds!! One of the things I would have liked on the CS1x would have been an extra bank to be able to store personal presets, instead of overwriting existing ones. GREAT!!! Me too, I compose original music with him :) Oh yes, the Drum machine sounds are really stunning too!! A huge thank you from me and my wife for your awesome comment :) :) :)

    It’s April 2023. As I have spent nearly half a decade remarking, this could’ve been my first synthesizer. It was one of the economical models that were on the market in February 1997 when I was 17 and was given my first synthesizer. I chose the Alesis QS6 for being the most affordable one, but I quickly figured out what a mistake that was. Its Keyboard and its MIDI implementation were the real pluses; despite having 64-note polyphony, its sound engine was more lo-fi than an 8-bit sample playback model.

    You have convinced me. I'm going to try to let the machine do a full production. As described in my post below. That is: divide the (virtual) keyboard into 4 sections, running on midi channel 1, containing, drum, bass, lead and a 4th sound. Mute all effects to get channel separation and two mono machines with assigned layers (panned). Mix & fx externally. Possible "general midi" addition on remaining 12 channels. The cs1X has a lot of banks with some useful stuff. Nineties challenge. Full production / live performance in one go, with merely this thing as tone generator and the knobs on the old budget devices. Ready to record on my Minidisc.
