The Yamaha CS-15 is one of the most undersung analog synths ever created. It is capable of an astonishing amount of great-sounding and clever applications of synthesis. Here is one!

The theme music is the theme music from my original Yamaha CS-15 video series, which is worth a watch! It was created entirely with sounds from the Yamaha CS-15 (except drums), often multitracked to achieve polyphony.
