    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.

    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.

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'M REALLY SPEECHLESS!!!!!!! It was a project that came to life slowly, trying to figure out how it could be done. Originally it was just supposed to be a short demonstration of some sound of old classics played on the CS1x, but then the right idea came along… why not make some kind of TV show similar to the ones we used to watch as kids?

The only thing they could do better is the acoustic piano sounds, but other than that I love it!!! :) :) :)

      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 :) :) :)

    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).

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... 😄

    4:06 The free space on the right side was not really meant for the QY300 (which is too big for that). It was meant to be used with machines in the format of - for example - the smaller QY sequencers (QY10, QY8 etc.), the SU10 sampler or the RY8 / RY9 drum machines.

      You are absolutely right, my mistake! I've never used sequencers and the only one I've seen live, was when my father took me to pick this synth as a birthday present in 1998. There was one of these sequencers and two others next to a CS1x with initials QY... but, I absolutely didn't remember that it was that big :D Thanks a lot for the clarification :) :) :)
