Excelent synth with a broad range of sounds.
Pros: Excelent sound quality, capable of making pads that last for (Litterally) minutes long to go through whole cycle, broad range of sounds, huge number of FX, Absolutly awsome selection of filters, Ribbon controller, decent drum kit, 3 band EQ rocks.
Cons: Interface is typical Yamaha. Not exactly intuitive programming, but anyone who has played a synth before and spends 3-4 serious days learning it shouldnt have a problem. Sampler is mono :P

Scene memory is pretty cool. Reverb and Chorus could sound better, but the rest of the FX (Tons of them) sound good. About 15 seconds after I figured out how to get the FX working I made a totally cool sound from scratch. What is really cool about the FX is that they can be turned on or off PER OSCILLATOR... which is pretty awsome. So many filters that I wont even list them.
The CS6x remains to be a secret weapon for many. I've heard several of it's presets in BTs music, and Faithless uses tons of the sounds from this thing.
Most CS6x owners feel that the CS6x is a very under-rated instrument.
Go to www.procom.no and then click on "Synth/Workstations" in the top left corner. From there, click on the speaker button and then scroll down to the Yamaha section and listen to the CS6x audio demos (They have most of them there... all recorded very well). CS6x sounds good doesnt it? :)
