Description

Yamaha Reface Cs (Display Model)

Reface keyboards are designed based on the practical needs of contemporary musicians. The series name, "reface," is a conflation of the idea of reinventing and the legacy of the many revolutionary interfaces of Yamaha keyboard instruments. Among the innovations it draws upon are the legendary CP80, DX7, and Yamaha Combo Organ. This is the Reface CS, which features the exciting timbres of the CS5 synth as one of its main inspirations. The Reface series is small. Incredibly small. But unlike miniature keyboard instruments of the past, the Reface touch is satisfying and expressive, and the sound is nothing short of spectacular.

The Reface keyboard family features built-in speakers and is battery-operable so you can create on the go. An AUX input allows you to play along with MP3 players or any other audio device you wish to use. Add MIDI and USB connectivity, and the Reface's ability to interface with external devices is enormous. Not just another monophonic analog clone, the Reface CS's five 8-note polyphonic oscillator modules create an incredible variety of sounds from warm, fat analog to crisp, clear digital. The intuitive Texture and Mod controls take simple oscillator types and transform them into complex, sophisticated waveforms. Animate your sound with the simple but powerful LFO and EG, and add depth, flavor, and attitude with the built-in effect and filter. If you have an idea for a song or want to build a performance from the ground up, you can capture it using the built-in Looper. For keyboardists and sound designers who need a wide variety of polyphonic synth tones, the Reface CS is a mini-key synthesizer with the legacy of the renowned CS and AN synthesizers, with multiple oscillator types, each with a unique character. Unlike synthesizers that offer only single synthesis types or only play one or two notes at a time, the Reface CS features additive and subtractive synthesis and 8-note polyphony.
