The Yamaha CS1x is a sample-based synthesizer released by the Yamaha Corporation in 1996.
Aimed primarily at dance musicians, the CS1x features analogue synthesizer-emulating rotary controllers and monotimbral analogue synthesizer voices.
The CS1x was succeeded in 1999 by the CS2x synthesizer.
The CS1x uses the Yamaha Sample and Synthesis technology, as well as General MIDI and XG voices from the MU-50 module.
The CS1x employs various arpeggiator presets and effects such as reverb, chorus (including flanging and celeste) and "variation" (a combination of reverbs, delays, modulation effects and equalisation).
The synthesizer has been used by Proyecto Crisis, Underworld, Jamiroquai, Gilbert Le Funk, David Bowie, Boards of Canada, Elbow Coulee, Noisuf-X, X-Fusion, Chemlab, X-Marks The Pedwalk, A7ie, Centhron, Sista mannen på Jorden, yelworC, P·A·L, Suicide Commando, Supreme Court, Lost Signal, Phylum Sinter, Cenotype, Everything Goes Cold, Neurobash, K-Nitrate, Joe Pagano, Dave Greenfield, Jordan Biggs, Monoganon.
