KX77FREE has launched Kx-PolyM-CSE,
a vintage modular polyphonic synthesizer instrument for
Windows.
"This one is a special work to
implement a CS70M emulation and the x16 sequencer
inside a modular VA. Even if the CS70 used for the
tests is broken (some voices and keys are HS, no
split, …), I could work nicely and really check this
piece of synthesizer story. I really appreciated to
go to the past… I added some “CS” offsets to the
initial values of my usual setting, created the
waveforms, modified the Lfo, etc, to match with the
original synthesizer. Of course, you can use this
plug-in like you want with or without the “CS”
offsets.
I love the vintage japanese
synthesizers because generally they have more
creative parameters.
The particularity of this CS is its
two channels (for each: 1 VCO, 1 VCF, 1 VCA) which
provide nice stereo pads. And its Vcos are not Dcos
(like those of 80′s synths), so the detune between
the two Vcos and each voice creates rich chorus fx
to build nice organs or string ensembles. But the
great features of this vintage synthesizer are: the
Lfo which generates a frequency modulation up to 500
hz controlled by the AD envelope and the Sine
oscillators of the Vcas which create a solid base of
the sounds using Bp or Hp filters."
