Yamaha Reface CS: Analog Physical Modeling Engine
The oscillator types of the Yamaha Reface CS are characterized by flexible LFO and ADSR routing, but also with the unique Texture and Mod controllers. How the Texture and Mod function is dependant on the relevant oscillator types. The 8 voiced polyphonic of the Reface CS allows for complex chords and pads. In Mono mode, fat bass or solo leads can be played.
Mini, Mobile & Robust
With the Reface mobile mini keyboards, Yamaha presents four ultra-compact instruments, based on legendary sound generators, which impress on-the-go on stage and in the studio. Reface is perfect for songwriters, sound designers, stage keyboarders – as well as for anyone who simply wants to have their musical inspiration with them at all times. With battery operation and a great sounding built-in stereo speaker system, the reface quartet is always ready to play. The craftsmanship of the keyboard, case and control elements is much better than you would expect from a Mini Synthesizer.
