You have the CS80, CS70, CS60 series that are related. Polyphonic.
You have the CS5, CS10, CS15 and CS30 that are basically all related. Monophonic.
Then you have the CS20 and CS40 which are sort of related to the CS5-30 series, but are kind of their own thing as well. Duophonic. |
you forgot the CS50 - related to the polyphonic CS60 & CS80... fantastic synth, by the way, 4 voices only, but extremely expressive, same counts for the CS60, 8 voices, basically half a CS80... CS50 & CS60 is as close as you'll get to the sound of the CS80 without spending 4-5K... CS60 is one of my all time fave polys... I have 2 of them sitting right next to me at the moment...
