Introduction

CS-M 1.5

CS-M is back and it’s bigger than ever! Now including the full

set of raw waveforms for the CS-01, an expanded preset library

with over 200 patches and a massive boost to performance,

delivering dramatically faster load times. There’s never been a

better time to explore the warm analog tones of the CS series!

Between 1979 and 1984 Yamaha designed and built some of the

most unique and distinct sounding analog synthesizers in the

world - the most famous of which being the massive CS-80.

We tend to prefer the sounds of the lesser-known models, and

have focused here on the CS-70M, CS-40M, CS-20M and CS-01.

UVI CS-M features a dual-layer architecture and instant

preset/layer switching making it an extraordinarily responsive

instrument capable of a wide and authentic sound palette.

Layers include all possible base waveforms and noises as well

as expertly programmed presets, all made on the original

machines. In fact, great lengths were taken to ensure the

authentic sound and natural character of these machines

was preserved and translated clearly in CS-M. Everything was

sampled, down to the unique unison and ensemble modes.

Enjoy the wonderful vintage sound of these synthesizers

or take them into new territory with the UVI Engine. CS-M

comes packed with a wealth of features to help you enrich

and customize your sounds including double arpeggios, a step

sequencer, LFOs and precision modeled FX - allowing you to

freely tread in territory the old hardware couldn’t dream of.

From thick and gritty basslines to warm and bubbly arpeggios

and sharp analog leads, UVI CS-M is a grand ode to some of our

most beloved hardware inspirations.

Minimum System Requirements

• UVI Workstation 2.5.7+ or Falcon 1.0+

• 1.5GB of disk space

The UI is divided into three pages; [Edit], [Mod] and [Arp]. Primary controls such as amp, filter, stereo, pitch and eects are available on the [Edit] page.
Clicking the [Mod] button at the top of the interface reveals the second page of controls containing the LFO and Step Modulator. The final [Arp] page
presents an independent arpeggiator for each layer.
