The CS6R packs the entire engine of Yamaha's CS6x performance synth into a 1U rack: lush AWM2 sample-based sounds, a full FM synthesis system, multitimbral parts, and a bank of knobs for real-time tweaking. A deep, gig-and-studio-ready module that does pads, basses, leads and full banks without taking up keyboard space.
