Yamaha CS-80 User Manual

H0(
TO
USE
THIS
MANUAL
This
instruction
manual is
probably
different
from
any
synthesizer manua!
you have
previously
read.
The
controls
and functions
are
explained in
terms
that
should
be comprehensible
to
non-technical
and
technically
oriented
players
alike. The
CS-80
is
a
unique
step forward in
synthesizer
technology,
an
advanced
and very
playable
instrument.
This
instruc-
tion
manual
complements the
CS-80,
and
will
also
serve
as
a
valuable
reference
book for
understanding
many
other
synthesizers.
All
CS-80
controls
referenced in
the
manual
are
followed
by a
number
in
brackets,
like
this:
the
VOLUME
control
[2]
. The
numbers
refer
to
the
callouts
on the
photograph
inside
the
front
cover,
Consult
the INDEX
on
page 1
to
find
other
pages
where
the
same
control
is
discussed.
Those
who
are
already
experienced
with
synthesizers
may
wish
to
review
the
control
functions
as outlined
in
Section
IV. A
more
detailed
and
less
technical
explana-
tion
is
provided
in
Sections
II
and
III.
When
portions
of
the
control
panels
are shown
in
examples,
all
controls
not
shown
in
the
example
should
be
set at
the
nominal
positions
indicated
by
the
inside
cover
photo
(unless
othervvise
suggested
by the
accom-
panying
text).
Try
the example
settings
shown,
and
experiment
as
you
read
the
text.
Feel
free
to
use
your
own
music,
and
adjust
your
playing
style
to suit
the
nature
of the
patch
you have
selected.
