The presets of this episode are available on my website in zip format (containing manual+SysEx file): kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets Have fun and good music :) :) :)
@@JoelBouchillon Unfortunately I've never owned the AN1x, but I absolutely don't think they are compatible... instead these presets are also compatible with the CS2x ;)
It's wonderful that it gave you this feeling!!! I worked a lot on this aspect by watching lots of videos from the time and I'm really happy that you liked it :) :) :) I'm also working on the next two episodes (full of classics from the past) and I hope to complete it soon!!! Thank you so much for watching this video too!!!
You made this look like a tv commercial or VHS tape from 1982. It couldn't be more perfect. I can't start to imagine how many weeks you have spent on this, but the result is in a league of its own. You even found the fonts, specific shades of each color and so many other details that tell me it's from 1982. That's actually 14 years before the CS1x was released, but who cares? 1982 was so much better than 1996.
REALLY FABULOUS, JACQUES!!!!! I'm so happy that you carefully observed the details of this video and that it gave you these feelings... it's really priceless!!!! Oh yes, it took many months to get every part of this video done, but it was so much fun!!! Thanks again my friend, for your wonderful comment :) :) :)
WOOOWWWW... I HAVE NO WORDS!!!! I'm so happy I was able to convey these feelings with my videos... I've always loved how they made documentaries, TV shows, commercials, etc at that time!!! Thanks again David, for your amazing comment :) :) :)
This guy actually re-created the noise/degradation seen when many old VHS tapes are played (or were, anyway 😅). Now THAT is dedication folks! Of course, the entire video is pure gold. As a 40-something now, brings back the great days of childhood. Many thanks!
I'm so happy to read your amazing comment!!! It's a real joy to have managed to convey exactly those feelings that I also experienced with so much emotion!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your special words and your awesome compliments :) :) :)
Seriously?!?!?! I'm dreaming this for sure. I have owned a CS1X since 2001 and I couldn't love it anymore..... until I watched this video. Damn this is cool! Thankyou for taking the time and care to share the love!!!
GREAT!!!!! We've more or less owned it since almost the same time (1998) :) I'm really happy that you appreciated what I did on this video and soon I'll be doing more episodes with other great classics from the past (always sharing my presets in SysEx format)!!! Thank you very much Dan, for your kindness and for your wonderful words :) :) :)
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL :) :) :) A special thanks to my dear friend Julian Croot, for helping me with the English translation. If you don't already know him, check out his channel filled with amazing recreations of past classics: www.youtube.com/@juliancroot
It is clear that ANYONE with a pulse that watches this will start to want to own this CS1x synth.. wonderful video! as usual.. thank you for making youtube great
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!! An incredible piece of music history!!! I also love the video with all that energy they give off... this is MUSIC!!!! Thanks again for writing to me :) :) :)
This is brilliant. The 80s' VHS effect, the 80s' style dialogue, and of course the 80s' themes. I had no idea my CS1x could do this. Bought it for 90s trance in 1998. Looking forward to getting back to it. Thank you.
WOOWW!!!!!! I'm really glad you liked everything in this video inspired by that style!!! I've had mine since 1998 too!! I have to say that at first I found it complicated to use but in these last few years, I've understood its functioning better and I'm having a lot of fun trying to get as close as I can to its original classics of the past. I'm preparing a new special episode very particular (with 70s, 80s and 90s themes) and I hope to upload it soon on the channel!! I wish you renewed fun with your CS1x and thanks again for everything :) :) :)
Holy crap! You totally nailed the 1980's VHS aesthetic! Wonderful sounds too! Now I need to get my self a CS1x as I'm sure it will help me improve my SID compositions!
GREAT!!!!! Thank you so much for your incredible compliments, Andy :) :) :) I'm really glad you liked this video!!! I've wanted to do something like this for a long time!! Oh yes, it can definitely be useful for this fantastic type of music too ;)
I didn't think you could get this close to the original sounds without the aid of plugins, especially the fullness of the Oberheim brass, which is astounding!
It's a real pleasure to hear that you found these sounds very rich... fortunately, being able to put 4 different sounds on the CS1x to create the preset (each with its own specific settings), it can come very close to analog synths. Thanks again Metalltool, for appreciating my work in this video :) :) :)
This video was amazing in every way. Me being an 80s baby I grew up with programs like Airwolf, knightrider, street hawk, Ateam and the 80s music etc plus you taught me how to play all of these so thank you very much. Keep making these type of videos 👏
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, JAMES!!!!! You don't know what a great happiness it is for me to know all this... it's always a wonderful thing when you can convey your passion with what you do!!! I thank you again for your wonderful comment and I hope to make a new episode soon :) :) :)
I love that you added in the tape noise in the background, perfect editing on this video. I noticed the keyboard uses a DC Jack for power, I always thought this model had a built in PSU and used a IEC style cable to power the keyboard, I very well could be getting it confused with another Yamaha model, I know they made other keyboards that look virtual the same only they are grey in color.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, KRISTIAN!!!! I'm enormously pleased that you appreciated how I recreated the atmosphere for this video... I've always been a big fan of audio and video tapes and the way TV programs/commercials were created back then!!! I think I understand which synth you are referring to, the CS6x has an IEC socket and is silver/grey... a fantastic synth!! Thanks again man, for your awesome compliments :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers I almost had a Yamaha cs6x I seen at pawn shop in 2015, but at the time I didn't have the money, when I went back to buy it a few weeks later it was gone, I ended up with Korg Trinity Pro instead
WoW! What a great video! I love the VHS hum and dropouts and especially all the demonstration of that amazing keyboard. It really feels like it's right out of the 80s.
REALLY FABULOUS!!!!! I'm so happy that you liked the effects I created to emulate the legendary VHS format and that you appreciated the part on the CS1x too!!! I hope to be able to do more episodes soon and I thank you for your awesome words, my friend :) :) :)
REALLY FANTASTIC, MAN!!!! It's a real joy to know that you liked my work on this new video and that it gave you good feelings!!! Thanks again for everything, my friend :) :) :)
GREAT!!!!!! It's always a pleasure to meet other owners of this fantastic synth and that you enjoyed this video so much!!! I hope to be able to make more videos like this one soon... I have so many more classics in mind to do with the CS1x!! Thanks again man, for your magnificent compliments :) :) :)
I had the CS1X when I was young - it was inexpensive but I still had to save pretty hard for it. I loved it because it was mine but I always figured that it was a poor man's synth. I'm surprised to see that it had some kind of following.
I'm glad that you had the CS1x too... many times mid-range products can surprise you with their capabilities and I must say that in these years that I have learned to use this synth thoroughly, it has amazed me with its versatility and its sound quality. The only thing they could do better is the acoustic piano sounds, but other than that I love it!!! :) :) :)
Nice video about the instrument of the era, nice touch too with the 90s style video presentation, music and even background hiss and interference of an old VHS tape.
WOOOWWWW!!!!! I'm so glad you appreciated all the details and the idea of this new video... it was so much fun putting into practice everything I've learned in these years both in music and graphics!!! Thank you very very much Andrew, for your super compliments :) :) :)
This is awesome. I own one just sitting in a corner of my studio. I'll have to hook it up again! Btw, I love your video's. The first one I saw was your Airwolf video. The nostalgic feelings overwhelmed me and I instantly missed that 80's era. Well done. Keep making these!
WOOOWWWWW!!!!! It's a real joy to know that you appreciated this video and that you like my works!!! I had a lot of fun making the Airwolf cover and I'm really glad you liked it :) GREAT!! I hope you will use your CS1x again... it really deserves it!!! In the next episode, there will be other sounds of past classics, recreated with the CS1x (again including presets in SysEx format). Thank you very much Redford music, for your beautiful comment :) :) :)
WOOWWWW... I'm so happy to know this!!! It's fantastic that you had this feeling with my video!! Thanks again Crowmoor, for all your awesome compliments :) :) :)
Some excellent tones on show here! 👀 I've got it's younger sibling the CS2X in the loft for 10 years in need of repair.... This video has made me want to get it out for a summer project. Great video with top 80s vibes 🔥
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm very pleased this video has made you want to get your CS2x back up and running... they are two really excellent synthesizers!!! When your CS2x is working again, you can upload my presets in SysEx format (available on my website: kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets )... I hope to be able to make another video soon with other classics of the past!! Thanks again for everything, Darius and I wish you good work with your CS2x :) :) :)
WONDERFUL!!!!! I'm really pleased you enjoyed that animation!!!! Absolutely yes, the history of everything is always important!!! Thanks again for appreciating my new work :) :) :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COLIN!!!!! It's a real joy to know that you liked this video and that it gave you these sensations!!! You're absolutely right, I've always loved the way composers in those years exploited the potential of synthesizers... absolutely incredible masterpieces!! I hope to be able to make the second episode soon, rich of 80's classics :) :) :)
WOOWWWW!!!!! It's a great honor for me to know that that part reminded you of the fantastic TV series Terrahawks!!! Thank you very much for your beautiful compliment :) :) :)
My first synth. I am 55 and bought it couple of years ago from a little recording studio in perfect state. Waouh, so happy with it. Remind le that sounds of the past décades, possibilites are numberous. Nice job guys!
FABULOUS!!!!!!! I'm really happy to know this!!! For me too it was my first synth and I still remember when I got it as a gift in 1998... it was a surprise that took my breath away!! Even today, it amazes me what it is possible to create with it and I will happily share my discoveries in the next videos. Thank you again for your lovely comment and I wish you super fun with your CS1x :) :) :)
Had one when I was a kiddo and miss it dearly, watched this video and just picked up one off eBay! Thank u for reminding me how great this rompler synth truly is!
WHAT AWESOME NEWS, MICK!!!!! I've had mine since 1998 (I've always had a lot of fun with it) and it's always nice to meet a fan of this great synth!!! I'm preparing more videos like this full of classic sounds from 70s-80s-90s movies and music that I will share with CS1x owners!! I'm really happy that you own it again and I hope you spend happy hours with it :) Thank you again for your beautiful comment!!!
Working in 5D, the master of music and time, magician Kos, manages to extend the dimension of the 80's even further from an unseen part of history into our screens of the future.
GREAT, MY FRIEND!!!!! I'm so happy that you liked the idea of this new video!!!! Thanks again Rickard, for your wonderful words and for your fabulous compliments :) :) :)
I love my CS1x.I only retired it five or six years ago when some of the keys started acting up.i remember discovering the second set of presets,it was an epiphany.I wrote a whole tune out of the wish u preset.The CS1x had great versions of 808 and 909 drum kits as well.Fantastic job on the video,love the VHS effect,so in keeping with the CS1x time line.Excellent job Kos and Kat
SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!! To receive a magnificent comment like this from another CS1x owner is really fabulous!!! Mine too, some time ago, had a key that sometimes didn't play and I solved it by cleaning the contacts of the PCB board and the silicone part. Unbelievable, the same thing happened to me a long time ago, that I discovered that there was a second bank of presets with beautiful sounds!! One of the things I would have liked on the CS1x would have been an extra bank to be able to store personal presets, instead of overwriting existing ones. GREAT!!! Me too, I compose original music with him :) Oh yes, the Drum machine sounds are really stunning too!! A huge thank you from me and my wife for your awesome comment :) :) :)
OMG...from the very first second of that cheesy VHS production logo opening...a work of genius! Kos, you keep knocking it out of the park! To say I'm impressed would be a gargantuan understandment!
SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!!!! It's great to hear that you enjoyed this particular video inspired by early 90s videotapes!!! I'm really happy to read your special words!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, RYAN :) :) :)
I feel like I’m watching a promo video in a tv store. Showcasing to me, the latest technology…. Of the 80’s. Great editing and your sound quality is superb. Keep it up.
WONDERFUL!!!!! What a huge joy to know that my video had this effect on you and it really makes me like you enjoyed everything!!!! Thank you so much for your amazing words :) :) :)
Estoy muy feliz de saber esto!!! Realmente es un sintetizador genial y divertido de usar!! Pronto haré otros episodios con súper clásicos del pasado!! Muchas gracias por apreciar este vídeo :) :) :)
REALLY FABULOUS, MAN!!!! It's an immense pleasure to know that you appreciated everything in this new video... it makes me really happy!!!! Thank you of heart Gerar, for your super compliments :) :) :)
SUPER WOOOWWWW!!!!! It is a great pleasure to know that you appreciated the way I created this video!!!! Thanks again my friend, for your kindness and for your wonderful compliments :) :) :)
:D FANTASTIC, MY FRIEND!!!!! It is an immense joy to know that you liked this new idea so much!!! Thank you of heart my friend, for your awesome words :) :) :)
It's really a joy to know that you liked this idea!!! I hope to create the next episode soon with other super classics from the 80s!!! Thank you very much for your awesome compliments and for your support, my friend!!!! :) :) :)
Great video, I saw the CS1x in a music fair when Yamaha introduced it, bought one immediately brand new, it was my fourth or sixth synth, and I used it a lot. Still have it and it is in a stand with my AN1x which I got later as used.
THANKS A LOT, ARI!!!!! Fantastic... how lucky to have been able to participate in the presentation of the CS1x... I too, have owned it since 1998 (purchased new)!!! Oh yes, the AN1x is a wonderful synthesizer too and it's always a great pleasure to meet other fans of these Yamaha classics :) I'll be making more CS1x videos soon, with more 80's presets!! Thanks again for writing to me, man :) :) :)
GRAZIE MILLE DEI GENTILISSIMI COMPLIMENTI!!!!!! È davvero un piacere immenso che ti sia piaciuto!! Ho sempre adorato quel tipo di video e mi stuzzicava l'idea di provare a farne uno con l'atmosfera più simile possibile!!! Sono felicissimo che ti abbia dato le sensazioni giuste :) :) :)
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm very happy that you liked these sounds!!!! Yamaha had managed to make really good products with the CSx series... in the next episode there will be other sounds of super classic 80's songs, recreated with him!! Thanks again Rod, for appreciating my new video :) :) :)
REALLY AWESOME!!!! I'm very pleased that you liked the sounds I created for this video (especially "Jump")... also I'm truly happy you liked the 80's effect of the video!!! Thanks again for everything, my friend :) :) :)
This video is pure art, you are so great at pulling us back into the 80s. Real craftmanship. Love your videos! Please keep doing 'em! Greetings from Germany!
WONDERFUL!!!!! A comment to leave speechless... I'm really happy to know that with everything I do I can convey all of this!!! Thank you very very much Erazor, for your special words and for your great support... A big hello to you too from Italy :) :) :)
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!!! I'm really happy that you appreciated the introduction inspired by the 90's "Simitar" logo and that you liked the idea I had for this new video!!! :) :) :)
Nice video, cool sounds! I have one of these badboys collecting dust in my bedroom. I'm not a keyboard player, and I only bought it in the hope I would be able to use it as a GM/XG module to bring back some of my very old compositions originally created with a combination of a Yamaha SW60 sound card and a Roland XP10 (still have it) back in the late 90s. So far I've done absolutely nothing with the CS1x (besides checking that it works), and I must've had it for five years now... 😄
Love the "Simitar Entertainment" music in the intro. I used to watch a video called "Top Gun Jets" all the time when I was a kid and that music would always get my fired up for what I was about to watch. I was so happy when I was able to rediscover that tape when I finally found it about 15 years ago and I've rewatched it many times since (it's on YT, btw). Even going so far as to find the original tracks of some of the music used on the tape. I would sure love it if a composer were to rescore those songs so I could hear them without radio chatter and jet engine noise (wink, wink).
What a great joy to know that you liked my tribute to this logo!!!! Oh yes, I found the video you speak of and I remember watching them too, these kind of technical documentaries on videotape in the 90's... I love this kind of video!! :D ROGER! I add this idea to my list and I thank you again for everything, my dear friend :) :) :)
Che dire, brividi! Il maesto non sbaglia un colpo❤️ Pelle d'oca minuto per minuto. Ad un certo punto ho socchiuso gli occhi e la mia mente ha raggiunto le 88 miglia orarie e si è fiondata nel 1985.
GRANDE GIOVE!!!!! Sono felicissimo che questo mio nuovo video ti sia piaciuto così tanto... mi ha sempre stuzzicato l'idea di fare un video sul CS1x e finalmente ci sono riuscito!!! Grazie ancora, amico mio e ti mando un grande saluto :) :) :)
Great work guys. I just have to say that besides the music that you have done in this episode all i can now hear in my head is the training videos and the documentary videos that i used to watch as a kid. Ahh the memories. Keep up the good work.
FABULOUS!!!!!! You don't know what a great joy it is for me to read your words!!!! I'm really happy that my video gave you these incredible sensations!!! I've always loved that kind of video and still today I watch them with great emotion and interest... it's fantastic to know that I was able to convey this kind of emotion!! Thank you so much for your amazing comment, Arbelisk :) :) :)
Finally got to it and ordered a CS1x, I always wanted one after watching and listening to your videos! I hade to check this video out again to make the wait more barrable! :D
GREAT NEWS, MARTIN!!!!! I'm really happy to know this!!! It's a wonderful synth full of beautiful sounds. I must say that he always amazes me with what he manages to do!! I'm preparing other episodes with other super classics from the past (even 70s soundtracks) and the function of being able to use four distinct sounds at the same time is truly amazing, you can literally sculpt the sound you have in mind!! Thanks again for writing to me :) :) :)
FANTASTIC!!!!!! It's a real pleasure that this theme brought back good memories for you... I've always loved this music and its graphics (besides the wonderful video productions)!!! Thank you very much man, for appreciating my new work :) :) :)
Oh yes, the CS6x is the top of the line and it's a really incredible synth... but the first love is never forgotten (the CS1x is the first synth I had in the late 90's) :) :) :)
Hello KOS and KAT ! Very great honnor you made for the CS1x, I have already one but i don't use all he's potential, it will be great to post some tutos how to create and store new sound on it, and more 😊
Hello Gilles!! We are really happy that you liked this video dedicated to the fantastic CS1x!!! Oh yes, in the future, I'll make an episode where I explain how to create and save a custom preset... in the meantime I've created a manual where I explain how to import presets in SysEx format to the CS1x (available on my website: kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets ) :) Thanks again for everything, from me and my wife :) :) :)
REALLY FABULOUS, MY FRIEND!!!!! I'm very happy that you enjoyed everything in this new video and I hope to be able to do more episodes with other super classics!!! Thanks again for your wonderful compliments, Jose :) :) :)
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm really glad to hear this!!! I've had this beautiful synth since 1998 and it's always a pleasure to use it!!! On my website I share the SysEx files I create for free kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets I hope to upload more episodes I'm working on soon!! Thanks again and a big hello :) :) :)
Great work from both of you. The Terminator theme still gives me chills whenever I hear it after all these years and Airwolf was my favourite of all the 'super vehicle' shows. I've just been looking into Syntronik on iOS, as that covers a few Yamaha synths (CS-80, CS-01 II and GX-1), along with some Jupiter, Prophet and many other synths. I was going to wait until next month but you may have persuaded me to jump now (pun intended). :-)
Awesome as usual Kos. The intro and theming is outstanding... I absolutely loved it. The special mention to me was very kind...but I need to come clean to everybody watching and say I hardly did anything! Kos has a generous spirit, and yes...your English is fine. You remain a great inspiration to me in this field of 80s music and I hope this video series is a massive success for you... you thoroughly deserve it. Also it was very interesting to see what you've been able to do with the CS1x.
I was really curious to know what you thought of the full video and it's a huge gratification for me to know that you enjoyed the whole work!!! Being able to count on your help and great availability was something truly unique and I hope that other music lovers of the past come to see your channel because you really deserve it!!!! I thank you again my dear friend, for your always special support and for all your incredible words that made me even happier... A big hug, Julian!!!!! I wish you many new wonderful recreations :) :) :)
IT'S FANTASTIC TO KNOW THIS!!!!! I'm really happy to know that I was able to convey my fun of creating this video dedicated to the CS1x!!! Thank you very very much Joss, for your amazing compliments :) :) :)
Outstanding as always if you were a girl I marry you😊😊 the attention to detail is out of this world !!!! Its Always a pleasure Looking tat your work SUPERB !!!!!!
:D Hahaha I'm so happy that you enjoyed this particular video about the CS1x and always appreciate what I do!!!! Thank you of heart my dear friend, for your special compliments that always give me a lot of joy... a big hug to you and to the fantastic Malta :) :) :)
Felice che questo tuo progetto abbia successo! Complimenti, è tutto fantastico, a cominciare dalle grafiche 😮 Ho tre sintetizzatori, l'ultimo l'ho acquistato pochi giorni fa... Il CS1X era tra quelli che stavo prendendo in considerazione, anche perché mi affascina sin da ragazzo, quando lo si vedeva nei negozi di strumenti musicali (bei tempi) ma non ero sicuro delle sue capacità, e se avessi visto prima questi tuoi video forse ora avrei lui fra le mani! 😅 Complimenti per tutto e soprattutto per la tua capacità con la sintesi 😉
SUPER WOOWWWW... GRAZIE MILLE PER I TUOI MAGNIFICI COMPLIMENTI!!!! Sono felicissimo che hai apprezzato questo nuovo progetto basato sul CS1x e mi fa molto piacere che lo avevi preso in considerazione tra le tue possibili scelte!!! Grazie ancora per il tuo fantastico commento e ti auguro tanta buona musica :) :) :)
This video is jut amazing. I share the feelings you have for your CS1x for my Nord Lead A1 :) Learning and loving a single synth takes you far. (In your case these amazing covers and videos) keep it on!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, GABRIEL!!!!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed this video and it's beautiful to know that there are other musicians like you who enjoy learning to fully exploit their favorite instrument!! The Nord Lead A1 is an exceptional synth!!! I also find it very stimulating to try to create sounds of classics from the past that are apparently not possible to recreate whit the CS1x and then discover that they can be obtained with a little patience and an ear... a truly priceless feeling!! Thanks again for your special comment and I wish you lots of good music with your wonderful Nord :) :) :)
It’s April 2023. As I have spent nearly half a decade remarking, this could’ve been my first synthesizer. It was one of the economical models that were on the market in February 1997 when I was 17 and was given my first synthesizer. I chose the Alesis QS6 for being the most affordable one, but I quickly figured out what a mistake that was. Its Keyboard and its MIDI implementation were the real pluses; despite having 64-note polyphony, its sound engine was more lo-fi than an 8-bit sample playback model.
Love watching your stuff. Great compilation and editing! The only other thing you could have done was do the "Tim & Eric effect" of taping to a VHS tape, then playing it back and recording the output as you shove and slam on the VCR. XD
Just got a CS1X yesterday for 100 euros thanks to you (or because of you ?)! Broken corner as the case is made of really weak plastic unlike a DX7 MKII but I can't wait to play with it like you did on this video ! You did a great job with this video ! Thank you again for it.All the best !
WHAT A FABULOUS NEWS!!!!!! Haha glad to have been an inspiration :D Too bad it's damaged on the case (I knew the CS2x had fragile plastics... my CS1x hit the corners many times but never broke...maybe it also depends on the year of production), but it's a great price if everything else is ok!! Once you learn it, I'm sure you'll have a blast with this synth :) I'm preparing more episodes/presets full of 70s, 80s, and 90s classics... I'll upload them to the channel soon!!! I was really happy to hear this and thank you so much for enjoying my video!! I send you a big hello and have fun :) :) :)
Oh yes, it's a very beautiful thing to share the same passions!!! To be honest, it was just my wife who encouraged me to start making covers of past classics and to let other people hear them... since I was a child I have always been a great lover of music and musical instruments, I've always played for myself without letting others listen, because I've always been a bit shy :) Thank you so much my friend, from me and my wife for your special words :) :) :)
The presets of this episode are available on my website in zip format (containing manual+SysEx file): kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets
Have fun and good music :) :) :)
Phenomenal work.
are these patches compatible with the An1x ?
@@Jushwa THANK YOU SO MUCH, SHWA!!!! :) :) :)
@@JoelBouchillon Unfortunately I've never owned the AN1x, but I absolutely don't think they are compatible... instead these presets are also compatible with the CS2x ;)
@@JoelBouchillon No, they are not. CS1x is a ROMpler, while AN1x - VA. Completely different synth engines.
That VHS DRM style bit is such a nice touch. I love how cheesy all of this video sounds!
It's wonderful that it gave you this feeling!!! I worked a lot on this aspect by watching lots of videos from the time and I'm really happy that you liked it :) :) :) I'm also working on the next two episodes (full of classics from the past) and I hope to complete it soon!!! Thank you so much for watching this video too!!!

Oh yes, it took many months to get every part of this video done, but it was so much fun!!! Thanks again my friend, for your wonderful comment :) :) :)
This guy is a proof, that I will never give up my beloved CS1x.
:D It's a fantastic synth, hold on to it!!! The next special episode is almost ready :) :) :)
Your editing/effects work on these videos are outstanding. You managed to nail the authentic 80s aesthetic perfectly
WOOOWWWW... I HAVE NO WORDS!!!! I'm so happy I was able to convey these feelings with my videos... I've always loved how they made documentaries, TV shows, commercials, etc at that time!!! Thanks again David, for your amazing comment :) :) :)

It is clear that ANYONE with a pulse that watches this will start to want to own this CS1x synth.. wonderful video! as usual.. thank you for making youtube great
I thank you from the bottom of my heart my dear friend, for your beautiful words and for your compliments that made me really happy!!! :) :) :)
This bring me to expand my Yamaha synth collection about that piece of stuff. I bought IT 2 days ago only for mere 120 €.
Jump..... what an amazing endless time defying song. You can't listen without wanting to get up and jump/dance. Great video cheers.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!! An incredible piece of music history!!! I also love the video with all that energy they give off... this is MUSIC!!!! Thanks again for writing to me :) :) :)
This is brilliant. The 80s' VHS effect, the 80s' style dialogue, and of course the 80s' themes. I had no idea my CS1x could do this. Bought it for 90s trance in 1998. Looking forward to getting back to it. Thank you.
WOOWW!!!!!! I'm really glad you liked everything in this video inspired by that style!!! I've had mine since 1998 too!! I have to say that at first I found it complicated to use but in these last few years, I've understood its functioning better and I'm having a lot of fun trying to get as close as I can to its original classics of the past. I'm preparing a new special episode very particular (with 70s, 80s and 90s themes) and I hope to upload it soon on the channel!! I wish you renewed fun with your CS1x and thanks again for everything :) :) :)
Holy crap! You totally nailed the 1980's VHS aesthetic! Wonderful sounds too! Now I need to get my self a CS1x as I'm sure it will help me improve my SID compositions!
GREAT!!!!! Thank you so much for your incredible compliments, Andy :) :) :) I'm really glad you liked this video!!! I've wanted to do something like this for a long time!! Oh yes, it can definitely be useful for this fantastic type of music too ;)
absolutely love this, my CS1x has been leaning on the wall too long. Gotta bust it out now.
Same!
@doktorwer THANKS A LOT, DOKTORWER!!!!! It is a great pleasure to know this!!! :) :) :)
Amazing! Marvelous! Stupendous! Colossal! Tremendous! Gigantic! Astounding! Unbelievable! Spectacular! Phenomenal! And it's good, too.
:D I have never received so many compliments in one go!!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my friend :) :) :)
I just can’t believe l’m this old, it’s just like yesterday ..
I do love how you manage to recreate the era vibe, why I watch your videoa many times.
IT'S REALLY FABULOUS TO KNOW THIS!!!!! I'm so happy that my videos give you this feeling!!! Thank you very much, Simon :) :) :)
Every time I watch episodes about retro synthesizers and how beautiful hits play them, I want to learn how to play it myself)
I had the CS1x when it first came out. Then, I sold it and within a year I bought CS2x and still have today. Great performance synth, IMO.
I didn't think you could get this close to the original sounds without the aid of plugins, especially the fullness of the Oberheim brass, which is astounding!
It's a real pleasure to hear that you found these sounds very rich... fortunately, being able to put 4 different sounds on the CS1x to create the preset (each with its own specific settings), it can come very close to analog synths. Thanks again Metalltool, for appreciating my work in this video :) :) :)
This video was amazing in every way. Me being an 80s baby I grew up with programs like Airwolf, knightrider, street hawk, Ateam and the 80s music etc plus you taught me how to play all of these so thank you very much. Keep making these type of videos 👏
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, JAMES!!!!! You don't know what a great happiness it is for me to know all this... it's always a wonderful thing when you can convey your passion with what you do!!! I thank you again for your wonderful comment and I hope to make a new episode soon :) :) :)
CS1X was a lot of synthesizer for the relatively cheap price when it came out. Still have mine:)
A spectacular training course, documentary, infomercial, all in one. I'm sold.
Thanks again my friend, for appreciating the idea of this new video!!!! :) :) :)
I love that you added in the tape noise in the background, perfect editing on this video. I noticed the keyboard uses a DC Jack for power, I always thought this model had a built in PSU and used a IEC style cable to power the keyboard, I very well could be getting it confused with another Yamaha model, I know they made other keyboards that look virtual the same only they are grey in color.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, KRISTIAN!!!! I'm enormously pleased that you appreciated how I recreated the atmosphere for this video... I've always been a big fan of audio and video tapes and the way TV programs/commercials were created back then!!! I think I understand which synth you are referring to, the CS6x has an IEC socket and is silver/grey... a fantastic synth!! Thanks again man, for your awesome compliments :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers I almost had a Yamaha cs6x I seen at pawn shop in 2015, but at the time I didn't have the money, when I went back to buy it a few weeks later it was gone, I ended up with Korg Trinity Pro instead
WoW! What a great video! I love the VHS hum and dropouts and especially all the demonstration of that amazing keyboard. It really feels like it's right out of the 80s.
REALLY FABULOUS!!!!! I'm so happy that you liked the effects I created to emulate the legendary VHS format and that you appreciated the part on the CS1x too!!! I hope to be able to do more episodes soon and I thank you for your awesome words, my friend :) :) :)
Goosebumps in the intro alone! Great as always!
REALLY FANTASTIC, MAN!!!! It's a real joy to know that you liked my work on this new video and that it gave you good feelings!!! Thanks again for everything, my friend :) :) :)
Amazing sound BRO ♥ That sounds amazing, I love it! 😍 I used to have a Yamaha CS1x and it still sounds incredible. 🎹🎶
GREAT!!!!!! It's always a pleasure to meet other owners of this fantastic synth and that you enjoyed this video so much!!! I hope to be able to make more videos like this one soon... I have so many more classics in mind to do with the CS1x!! Thanks again man, for your magnificent compliments :) :) :)
I had the CS1X when I was young - it was inexpensive but I still had to save pretty hard for it. I loved it because it was mine but I always figured that it was a poor man's synth. I'm surprised to see that it had some kind of following.
I'm glad that you had the CS1x too... many times mid-range products can surprise you with their capabilities and I must say that in these years that I have learned to use this synth thoroughly, it has amazed me with its versatility and its sound quality. The only thing they could do better is the acoustic piano sounds, but other than that I love it!!! :) :) :)
Yamaha midle class totally underrated. On modern Korg you can make a mystake.
Wait….you were young before? Damn, I thought it was the other way around 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jk jk, I had too!
Nice video about the instrument of the era, nice touch too with the 90s style video presentation, music and even background hiss and interference of an old VHS tape.
WOOOWWWW!!!!! I'm so glad you appreciated all the details and the idea of this new video... it was so much fun putting into practice everything I've learned in these years both in music and graphics!!! Thank you very very much Andrew, for your super compliments :) :) :)
Cs1x and an1x are still very underrated.
The An1x is the pinnacle of the game of the time.
After the CS1x, there was the Cs2x and the Cs6x . And at the top of the basket, the An1x. :)
Why should they be underrated? 🤔
@@borlibaer, these are all excellent synthesizers let's just say that the An1x is more advanced. 😉
@Stefan Oberli Especially the CS1x. Two great synthesizers that can do great things. Many years ago, I had tried an AN1x and loved it :)
@@lairdtomfrenchelectromusic2545 I do know, because I finally got all 3 around 2010. As a child I dreamt of CS 80, CS 40M, CS1X and AN1X.
Love the old VHS feel
one of my fav synths back in the day. bought one as soon as it came out. performance mode was amazing back then.
It's always a real pleasure to meet other CS1x fans :) :) :) It's really true, the performance mode allows for a complete sound configuration!!!
Thanks for this. So wonderful to learn more about the instrument that helped make the soundtracks of my life.
OH WOOOWWW, JASON!!!!!!!! I'm so glad you liked this new idea, it's really FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you very much for your awesome words :) :) :)
This is awesome. I own one just sitting in a corner of my studio. I'll have to hook it up again!
Btw, I love your video's. The first one I saw was your Airwolf video. The nostalgic feelings overwhelmed me and I instantly missed that 80's era. Well done. Keep making these!
Mine’s collecting dust (oops). Yup, gotta deep clean it and set it up!
WOOOWWWWW!!!!! It's a real joy to know that you appreciated this video and that you like my works!!! I had a lot of fun making the Airwolf cover and I'm really glad you liked it :) GREAT!! I hope you will use your CS1x again... it really deserves it!!! In the next episode, there will be other sounds of past classics, recreated with the CS1x (again including presets in SysEx format). Thank you very much Redford music, for your beautiful comment :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Looking forward to the next episodes!
Sick video! Truly remarkable job for the production and feeling. Everything reminds me of my youth and movies from VHS.
WOOWWWW... I'm so happy to know this!!! It's fantastic that you had this feeling with my video!! Thanks again Crowmoor, for all your awesome compliments :) :) :)
Absolutely, fantastically brilliant!
GRANDE!!!!! Grazie mille per il magnifico apprezzamento!!! :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Figuratevi. Quando merita, merita! Buon fine settimana.
Some excellent tones on show here! 👀 I've got it's younger sibling the CS2X in the loft for 10 years in need of repair.... This video has made me want to get it out for a summer project. Great video with top 80s vibes 🔥
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm very pleased this video has made you want to get your CS2x back up and running... they are two really excellent synthesizers!!! When your CS2x is working again, you can upload my presets in SysEx format (available on my website: kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets )... I hope to be able to make another video soon with other classics of the past!! Thanks again for everything, Darius and I wish you good work with your CS2x :) :) :)
EXCELLENT! Loved the retro intro, too! Paying homage to those before us is very important.
WONDERFUL!!!!! I'm really pleased you enjoyed that animation!!!! Absolutely yes, the history of everything is always important!!! Thanks again for appreciating my new work :) :) :)
great job well done, I was instantly transported back to a time when synths ruled the world cannot wait for the next instalment👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH, COLIN!!!!! It's a real joy to know that you liked this video and that it gave you these sensations!!! You're absolutely right, I've always loved the way composers in those years exploited the potential of synthesizers... absolutely incredible masterpieces!! I hope to be able to make the second episode soon, rich of 80's classics :) :) :)
0:57 reminds me of the opening scenes in Terrahawks
WOOWWWW!!!!! It's a great honor for me to know that that part reminded you of the fantastic TV series Terrahawks!!! Thank you very much for your beautiful compliment :) :) :)
My first synth. I am 55 and bought it couple of years ago from a little recording studio in perfect state. Waouh, so happy with it. Remind le that sounds of the past décades, possibilites are numberous. Nice job guys!
FABULOUS!!!!!!! I'm really happy to know this!!! For me too it was my first synth and I still remember when I got it as a gift in 1998... it was a surprise that took my breath away!! Even today, it amazes me what it is possible to create with it and I will happily share my discoveries in the next videos. Thank you again for your lovely comment and I wish you super fun with your CS1x :) :) :)
Had one when I was a kiddo and miss it dearly, watched this video and just picked up one off eBay! Thank u for reminding me how great this rompler synth truly is!
WHAT AWESOME NEWS, MICK!!!!! I've had mine since 1998 (I've always had a lot of fun with it) and it's always nice to meet a fan of this great synth!!! I'm preparing more videos like this full of classic sounds from 70s-80s-90s movies and music that I will share with CS1x owners!! I'm really happy that you own it again and I hope you spend happy hours with it :) Thank you again for your beautiful comment!!!
Usually a video has one main thing that makes it so good....KOSmusic's videos have the music AND the production that make them amazing.
These are words and compliments that fill the heart with enormous joy!!! Thank you so much my friend, to appreciate what I do :) :) :)
It's been a long time since I had the CS1x and the AN1x. Both good synthesizers.
Working in 5D, the master of music and time, magician Kos, manages to extend the dimension of the 80's even further from an unseen part of history into our screens of the future.
GREAT, MY FRIEND!!!!! I'm so happy that you liked the idea of this new video!!!! Thanks again Rickard, for your wonderful words and for your fabulous compliments :) :) :)
I love my CS1x.I only retired it five or six years ago when some of the keys started acting up.i remember discovering the second set of presets,it was an epiphany.I wrote a whole tune out of the wish u preset.The CS1x had great versions of 808 and 909 drum kits as well.Fantastic job on the video,love the VHS effect,so in keeping with the CS1x time line.Excellent job Kos and Kat
SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!! To receive a magnificent comment like this from another CS1x owner is really fabulous!!! Mine too, some time ago, had a key that sometimes didn't play and I solved it by cleaning the contacts of the PCB board and the silicone part. Unbelievable, the same thing happened to me a long time ago, that I discovered that there was a second bank of presets with beautiful sounds!! One of the things I would have liked on the CS1x would have been an extra bank to be able to store personal presets, instead of overwriting existing ones. GREAT!!! Me too, I compose original music with him :) Oh yes, the Drum machine sounds are really stunning too!! A huge thank you from me and my wife for your awesome comment :) :) :)
OMG...from the very first second of that cheesy VHS production logo opening...a work of genius! Kos, you keep knocking it out of the park! To say I'm impressed would be a gargantuan understandment!
SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!!!! It's great to hear that you enjoyed this particular video inspired by early 90s videotapes!!! I'm really happy to read your special words!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, RYAN :) :) :)
This is simply amazing, you are a wizard in recreating the 80s vibe ❤
OH THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH DAVE, FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE COMPLIMENTS!!!!! You made me really happy :) :) :)
I feel like I’m watching a promo video in a tv store. Showcasing to me, the latest technology…. Of the 80’s. Great editing and your sound quality is superb. Keep it up.
WONDERFUL!!!!! What a huge joy to know that my video had this effect on you and it really makes me like you enjoyed everything!!!! Thank you so much for your amazing words :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers I own a lot of laserdiscs and it reminds me of like a promo or demo disc. Really great editing.
Increíble!!!! Estoy muy asombrado del poder de este sintetizador infravalorado, Muchas Gracias!!!
Estoy muy feliz de saber esto!!! Realmente es un sintetizador genial y divertido de usar!! Pronto haré otros episodios con súper clásicos del pasado!! Muchas gracias por apreciar este vídeo :) :) :)
Love the music, love the video editing. So much love and talent here, I’m astounded.
REALLY FABULOUS, MAN!!!! It's an immense pleasure to know that you appreciated everything in this new video... it makes me really happy!!!! Thank you of heart Gerar, for your super compliments :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Thank you sir for creating these videos!
A fantastic video as always. Love the retro Eighties style format to the video as well. You're a legend, mate.
SUPER WOOOWWWW!!!!! It is a great pleasure to know that you appreciated the way I created this video!!!! Thanks again my friend, for your kindness and for your wonderful compliments :) :) :)
We've entered a new era of KOSmusic.
And I'm all about it! This is great.
:D FANTASTIC, MY FRIEND!!!!! It is an immense joy to know that you liked this new idea so much!!! Thank you of heart my friend, for your awesome words :) :) :)
Please. do more of this. you are a super reflection of the 80's. i love your content
It's really a joy to know that you liked this idea!!! I hope to create the next episode soon with other super classics from the 80s!!! Thank you very much for your awesome compliments and for your support, my friend!!!! :) :) :)
Great video, I saw the CS1x in a music fair when Yamaha introduced it, bought one immediately brand new, it was my fourth or sixth synth, and I used it a lot. Still have it and it is in a stand with my AN1x which I got later as used.
THANKS A LOT, ARI!!!!! Fantastic... how lucky to have been able to participate in the presentation of the CS1x... I too, have owned it since 1998 (purchased new)!!! Oh yes, the AN1x is a wonderful synthesizer too and it's always a great pleasure to meet other fans of these Yamaha classics :) I'll be making more CS1x videos soon, with more 80's presets!! Thanks again for writing to me, man :) :) :)
Video PAZZESCO KOS!
Sei un mito!!!
Sei riuscito anche a ricreare la sensazione "old style" dei video-tutorial VHS...
Grandissimo!!!!
GRAZIE MILLE DEI GENTILISSIMI COMPLIMENTI!!!!!! È davvero un piacere immenso che ti sia piaciuto!! Ho sempre adorato quel tipo di video e mi stuzzicava l'idea di provare a farne uno con l'atmosfera più simile possibile!!! Sono felicissimo che ti abbia dato le sensazioni giuste :) :) :)
lo adoro....!!!!!! y sólo lo cambie por un CS2x....! si tuviera dinero compraría el CS6x
MUCHAS GRACIAS, JOSÉ!!!!! Oh sí, el CS6x es un sintetizador realmente increíble :) :) :)
These are seriously good recreations of the original sounds. I didn't know a 90s digital synth could sound that good.
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm very happy that you liked these sounds!!!! Yamaha had managed to make really good products with the CSx series... in the next episode there will be other sounds of super classic 80's songs, recreated with him!! Thanks again Rod, for appreciating my new video :) :) :)
really fun video and great sounds, probably the best tribute this synth will ever get in its history.
WOOWWWW!!!!!! I really thank you of heart Neon, for your wonderful compliments!!! :) :) :)
Man, those leads are masterpieces, specially Van Halen - Jump. I love your videos... The background noise is fully 80s XD
REALLY AWESOME!!!! I'm very pleased that you liked the sounds I created for this video (especially "Jump")... also I'm truly happy you liked the 80's effect of the video!!! Thanks again for everything, my friend :) :) :)
This video is pure art, you are so great at pulling us back into the 80s. Real craftmanship. Love your videos! Please keep doing 'em! Greetings from Germany!
WONDERFUL!!!!! A comment to leave speechless... I'm really happy to know that with everything I do I can convey all of this!!! Thank you very very much Erazor, for your special words and for your great support... A big hello to you too from Italy :) :) :)
Boom!! Love the intro, extremely retro.
That’s my day sorted And that’s one awesome board.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, MY DEAR FRIEND!!!!! I'm really happy that you appreciated the introduction inspired by the 90's "Simitar" logo and that you liked the idea I had for this new video!!! :) :) :)
Nice video, cool sounds! I have one of these badboys collecting dust in my bedroom. I'm not a keyboard player, and I only bought it in the hope I would be able to use it as a GM/XG module to bring back some of my very old compositions originally created with a combination of a Yamaha SW60 sound card and a Roland XP10 (still have it) back in the late 90s. So far I've done absolutely nothing with the CS1x (besides checking that it works), and I must've had it for five years now... 😄
Love the "Simitar Entertainment" music in the intro. I used to watch a video called "Top Gun Jets" all the time when I was a kid and that music would always get my fired up for what I was about to watch. I was so happy when I was able to rediscover that tape when I finally found it about 15 years ago and I've rewatched it many times since (it's on YT, btw). Even going so far as to find the original tracks of some of the music used on the tape. I would sure love it if a composer were to rescore those songs so I could hear them without radio chatter and jet engine noise (wink, wink).
What a great joy to know that you liked my tribute to this logo!!!! Oh yes, I found the video you speak of and I remember watching them too, these kind of technical documentaries on videotape in the 90's... I love this kind of video!! :D ROGER! I add this idea to my list and I thank you again for everything, my dear friend :) :) :)
Che dire, brividi! Il maesto non sbaglia un colpo❤️
Pelle d'oca minuto per minuto. Ad un certo punto ho socchiuso gli occhi e la mia mente ha raggiunto le 88 miglia orarie e si è fiondata nel 1985.
GRANDE GIOVE!!!!! Sono felicissimo che questo mio nuovo video ti sia piaciuto così tanto... mi ha sempre stuzzicato l'idea di fare un video sul CS1x e finalmente ci sono riuscito!!! Grazie ancora, amico mio e ti mando un grande saluto :) :) :)
Excellent video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, VEE!!!!! It is a real pleasure to know that you enjoyed my new work!!! :) :) :)
My CS1X is just sat in my museum of old cool stuff , tapes , records , 70s and 80s toys , tape players , record players etc
Great work guys. I just have to say that besides the music that you have done in this episode all i can now hear in my head is the training videos and the documentary videos that i used to watch as a kid. Ahh the memories. Keep up the good work.
FABULOUS!!!!!! You don't know what a great joy it is for me to read your words!!!! I'm really happy that my video gave you these incredible sensations!!! I've always loved that kind of video and still today I watch them with great emotion and interest... it's fantastic to know that I was able to convey this kind of emotion!! Thank you so much for your amazing comment, Arbelisk :) :) :)
I owned the CS6X. What a rich complex beast! Had to let it go, but how many hours of happiness...
GREAT!!!!! Unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of trying the CS6x (I've only tried the AN1x), but I've heard very good things about it :)
My first synth!
Still have it and use it frequently!
WONDERFUL!!!!! :) :) :)
Finally got to it and ordered a CS1x, I always wanted one after watching and listening to your videos! I hade to check this video out again to make the wait more barrable! :D
GREAT NEWS, MARTIN!!!!! I'm really happy to know this!!! It's a wonderful synth full of beautiful sounds. I must say that he always amazes me with what he manages to do!! I'm preparing other episodes with other super classics from the past (even 70s soundtracks) and the function of being able to use four distinct sounds at the same time is truly amazing, you can literally sculpt the sound you have in mind!! Thanks again for writing to me :) :) :)
Happy easter and thank you for this nice video!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CLARENCE!!!!! It's a real joy to know that you liked this new video!!! :) :) :)
Wow, that Simitar theme at the beginning brings back memories! Amazing video as always!
FANTASTIC!!!!!! It's a real pleasure that this theme brought back good memories for you... I've always loved this music and its graphics (besides the wonderful video productions)!!! Thank you very much man, for appreciating my new work :) :) :)
Cs6x or CS6R is the king from this family! Everything is improved to the max! You can add an extra AN1x card to it too!
Oh yes, the CS6x is the top of the line and it's a really incredible synth... but the first love is never forgotten (the CS1x is the first synth I had in the late 90's) :) :) :)
Hello KOS and KAT ! Very great honnor you made for the CS1x, I have already one but i don't use all he's potential, it will be great to post some tutos how to create and store new sound on it, and more 😊
Hello Gilles!! We are really happy that you liked this video dedicated to the fantastic CS1x!!! Oh yes, in the future, I'll make an episode where I explain how to create and save a custom preset... in the meantime I've created a manual where I explain how to import presets in SysEx format to the CS1x (available on my website: kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets ) :) Thanks again for everything, from me and my wife :) :) :)
@@KOSmusicovers Thanks a lot KOS !! It's perfect !
Love the tunes, and also the 80s vibes of the video. Great work!
REALLY FABULOUS, MY FRIEND!!!!! I'm very happy that you enjoyed everything in this new video and I hope to be able to do more episodes with other super classics!!! Thanks again for your wonderful compliments, Jose :) :) :)
I own one and this video made me to explore this instrument more! Thank you.
Marek, Poland
FABULOUS!!!!! I'm really glad to hear this!!! I've had this beautiful synth since 1998 and it's always a pleasure to use it!!! On my website I share the SysEx files I create for free kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets I hope to upload more episodes I'm working on soon!! Thanks again and a big hello :) :) :)
Great work from both of you. The Terminator theme still gives me chills whenever I hear it after all these years and Airwolf was my favourite of all the 'super vehicle' shows.
I've just been looking into Syntronik on iOS, as that covers a few Yamaha synths (CS-80, CS-01 II and GX-1), along with some Jupiter, Prophet and many other synths. I was going to wait until next month but you may have persuaded me to jump now (pun intended). :-)
God i love synths, and also the AN1x
80s magic! Unbeatable
Awesome as usual Kos. The intro and theming is outstanding... I absolutely loved it.
The special mention to me was very kind...but I need to come clean to everybody watching and say I hardly did anything! Kos has a generous spirit, and yes...your English is fine.
You remain a great inspiration to me in this field of 80s music and I hope this video series is a massive success for you... you thoroughly deserve it.
Also it was very interesting to see what you've been able to do with the CS1x.
I was really curious to know what you thought of the full video and it's a huge gratification for me to know that you enjoyed the whole work!!! Being able to count on your help and great availability was something truly unique and I hope that other music lovers of the past come to see your channel because you really deserve it!!!! I thank you again my dear friend, for your always special support and for all your incredible words that made me even happier... A big hug, Julian!!!!! I wish you many new wonderful recreations :) :) :)
OMG this is wonderful. Such nostalgic sounds. xxx
FANTASTIC!!!!! It's a real pleasure to know this!!! Thank you very much for appreciating my work in this video :) :) :)
I guess many people around the world found a second hand and bought it after Your great videos.
:D
Happy Easter mate - great video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DAVE!!!!! :) :) :)
nice work! keep em comin
MANY MANY THANKS, SUPER VETTE!!!! It is really a great joy to know that you liked this idea!!! :) :) :)
genuinely, the most joyous video Ive seen in a while ever. The background music selection worth gold alone! 👋👋👌
IT'S FANTASTIC TO KNOW THIS!!!!! I'm really happy to know that I was able to convey my fun of creating this video dedicated to the CS1x!!! Thank you very very much Joss, for your amazing compliments :) :) :)
Yamaha should be paying you for this.
:D
Outstanding as always if you were a girl I marry you😊😊 the attention to detail is out of this world !!!! Its Always a pleasure Looking tat your work SUPERB !!!!!!
:D Hahaha I'm so happy that you enjoyed this particular video about the CS1x and always appreciate what I do!!!! Thank you of heart my dear friend, for your special compliments that always give me a lot of joy... a big hug to you and to the fantastic Malta :) :) :)
Felice che questo tuo progetto abbia successo! Complimenti, è tutto fantastico, a cominciare dalle grafiche 😮
Ho tre sintetizzatori, l'ultimo l'ho acquistato pochi giorni fa...
Il CS1X era tra quelli che stavo prendendo in considerazione, anche perché mi affascina sin da ragazzo, quando lo si vedeva nei negozi di strumenti musicali (bei tempi) ma non ero sicuro delle sue capacità, e se avessi visto prima questi tuoi video forse ora avrei lui fra le mani! 😅
Complimenti per tutto e soprattutto per la tua capacità con la sintesi 😉
SUPER WOOWWWW... GRAZIE MILLE PER I TUOI MAGNIFICI COMPLIMENTI!!!! Sono felicissimo che hai apprezzato questo nuovo progetto basato sul CS1x e mi fa molto piacere che lo avevi preso in considerazione tra le tue possibili scelte!!! Grazie ancora per il tuo fantastico commento e ti auguro tanta buona musica :) :) :)
Incredible retro production!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, GROOVEFUNKEL!!!!! :) :) :)
This video is jut amazing. I share the feelings you have for your CS1x for my Nord Lead A1 :)
Learning and loving a single synth takes you far. (In your case these amazing covers and videos) keep it on!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, GABRIEL!!!!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed this video and it's beautiful to know that there are other musicians like you who enjoy learning to fully exploit their favorite instrument!! The Nord Lead A1 is an exceptional synth!!! I also find it very stimulating to try to create sounds of classics from the past that are apparently not possible to recreate whit the CS1x and then discover that they can be obtained with a little patience and an ear... a truly priceless feeling!! Thanks again for your special comment and I wish you lots of good music with your wonderful Nord :) :) :)
It’s April 2023. As I have spent nearly half a decade remarking, this could’ve been my first synthesizer. It was one of the economical models that were on the market in February 1997 when I was 17 and was given my first synthesizer. I chose the Alesis QS6 for being the most affordable one, but I quickly figured out what a mistake that was. Its Keyboard and its MIDI implementation were the real pluses; despite having 64-note polyphony, its sound engine was more lo-fi than an 8-bit sample playback model.
Love watching your stuff. Great compilation and editing! The only other thing you could have done was do the "Tim & Eric effect" of taping to a VHS tape, then playing it back and recording the output as you shove and slam on the VCR. XD
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JOE!!!!! I'm really pleased to know that you like what I do and that you appreciated my new video!!! :) :) :)
Best Easter gift ever! This makes me want a CS1x, and I'm not even really a keyboard player, haha.
:D Hahaha GREAT!!!! Thank you very much, my friend :) :) :)
Just got a CS1X yesterday for 100 euros thanks to you (or because of you ?)! Broken corner as the case is made of really weak plastic unlike a DX7 MKII but I can't wait to play with it like you did on this video ! You did a great job with this video ! Thank you again for it.All the best !
WHAT A FABULOUS NEWS!!!!!! Haha glad to have been an inspiration :D Too bad it's damaged on the case (I knew the CS2x had fragile plastics... my CS1x hit the corners many times but never broke...maybe it also depends on the year of production), but it's a great price if everything else is ok!! Once you learn it, I'm sure you'll have a blast with this synth :) I'm preparing more episodes/presets full of 70s, 80s, and 90s classics... I'll upload them to the channel soon!!! I was really happy to hear this and thank you so much for enjoying my video!! I send you a big hello and have fun :) :) :)
I know that Toby Smith from Jamiroquai used one on the Traveling Without Moving record and subsequent tour. Some very cool sounds indeed.
You're extremely lucky to have a supportive wife like her ;)
At least, you won't have to struggle with those "BOUGHT ANOTHER SYNTH?!?" arguments ^^
Oh yes, it's a very beautiful thing to share the same passions!!! To be honest, it was just my wife who encouraged me to start making covers of past classics and to let other people hear them... since I was a child I have always been a great lover of music and musical instruments, I've always played for myself without letting others listen, because I've always been a bit shy :) Thank you so much my friend, from me and my wife for your special words :) :) :)
Nice sounding synth in the right hands. Is it irony that the first time I've seen Premium HD offered is on a 80's/VHS style video. 🤣Love it!
