WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. The screen is bright and highly legible, and all of the function knob encoders work instantly. There is an ample amount of gain and power in this synth, and the arpeggiator is very intuitive.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. All of the encoders, pots, and jacks are flawless, and except for some very light rack rash on the top, the metal chassis is extremely clean.

FUNCTION: Rackmount Digital Synthesizer

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Yamaha CS6R Modular Synthesis Rackmount Tone Generator. The Yamaha CS6R is a 2U rackmount synthesizer sound module released in 1999, serving as the module version of the popular CS6x keyboard. Designed with a distinct focus on electronic dance music (EDM), hip-hop, and club genres, it blends sample-based synthesis with classic analog-style filtering and control.

SPECS:

• Serial # QL01056
• Tone Generation: Powered by Yamaha's Advanced Wave Memory 2 (AWM2) engine
• Operating Data: 16 MB wave ROM with 479 waveforms.
• Polyphony: 64 voices.
• Multi-Timbral Capability: 16 parts simultaneously.
• Memory Architecture: Pre-loaded with 256 preset patches, 8 drum kits, and 128 user slots.
• Filters: Highly flexible multi-mode filters including 2, 3, and 4-pole setups with 6, 12, and 24dB slopes (low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass).
• Modular Plug-in System (PLG): It features two expansion slots compatible with Yamaha's PLG series boards. This allows you to add entirely separate synthesis engines (such as the PLG150-AN for virtual analog or PLG150-DX for FM synthesis) to increase polyphony and sonic variety.
• Advanced SMF Sequencer: The CS6R specifications include an internal Standard MIDI File (Format 0) playback sequencer. Users often praise it as a powerhouse for live backings because you can chain up to 100 songs directly from a SmartMedia card to drive internal and external MIDI gear without needing a laptop.
