Description | The Yamaha CS-30L is a full-fledged synthesizer developed based on YAMAHA's superior technology and rich experience cultivated over the years with YAMAHA Electone Organs and by giving full play to the latest in IC technology.
The synthesizer, unlike other musical instruments, has no fixed sound of its own. However, it has the capacity of producing, with practically unlimited freedom, new sounds that no other instruments can produce. The new sounds that you have created yourself with the CS-30L, will no doubt direct you along a path that will lead you into a new world of music.
The CS-30L is a synthesizer equipped with 2 systems of VCO, VCF and VCA as well as 3 Eds. Further, it is provided on its rear panel with terminals that will enable its use also as a guitar synthesizer as well as
connection to 2, or more, other synthesizers. To make full use of such functions and to discover original sounds that are uniquely yours, we urge you to read the contents of this Owner's Manual carefully. |

As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
