CS2x Tone

Generation

The CS2x Control Synthesizer — and the way it creates its myriad

sounds — is a natural evolution of the various types of popular

synthesizers that have come before it over the past several

decades.

It all started with the popular analog “voltage controlled”

synthesizers used on the hit recordings of the 1960s and ‘70s.

Although they were far from perfect — suffering from lack of

storage, unstable tuning and limited polyphony — they had

knobs that were pretty easy to use and even to this day are known

as the “vintage” synths now sought after by the world’s top dance

music artists.

Then came the digital breakthroughs of the early 1980s —

personified by Yamaha’s DX7 which dispensed with knobs

altogether and introduced the world to practical polyphonic

synthesis. With its voice storage, MIDI and other capabilities it

literally redefined what a synthesizer was all about, although to

many it was a bit difficult to program.

Next came digital sampling — a field in which Yamaha has also

been at the forefront with its

Advanced Wave Memory

(AWM)

technology — which nothing less than revolutionized popular

music itself and is still immensely popular to this day.

Now comes the CS2x with its convenient digital features plus

knobs and other analog-style functions. Combining the best of

both analog and digital worlds, the CS2x is truly a unique — and

completely modern — electronic instrument that’s as easy to

understand and operate as it is fun and intuitive to play.

What this means in practical terms is that the CS2x provides you

with hundreds of great sampled sounds, or “voices” built right in,

the detailed characteristics of which you can manipulate in real-

time as you play using the eight SOUND CONTROL knobs and

other handy controllers. These and many other parameter editing

functions let you quickly and easily customize as many sound

setups that you may need for a tune, and then store them in

“Performance” and “Scene” memories for instant recall at the

touch of a button!

Generating Sounds Electronically

For the sake of the uninitiated, let’s take a look at some basic facts

regarding the nature of sounds and how they are generated

electronically. There are three basic elements which make up any

type of sound, whether acoustically oriented or electronically

generated, as follows:

PITCH, or how low or high a sound is;

TONE, or what a sound’s overall timbre, or quality is like;

AMPLITUDE, or how loud a sound’s volume level is.

In the simplest terms, acoustic musical instruments are

specifically designed and painstakingly built to produce precise

sound characteristics over a determined range when played. This

is why a violin always sounds like a violin, a piano always

sounds like a piano, and a flute always sounds like a flute. A

musician’s playing techniques are also extremely important.

For example, a violinist will “scrape” the bow across the string at

a certain intensity to generate violin sound waves at a certain

volume level (amplitude) and produce low or high notes based

on fingering positions (pitch). The vibrating strings and resonating

wood, as well as the playing style and techniques of the

musician, will determine the overall quality of the violin’s timbre

(tone).
