and functions.
You
need not

to play
your
synthesizer.
However,
Section

does
offer alternative
and more comprehen-

Overall Picture
The CS-50
is
a
four note
polyphonic synthesizer;
the
CS-60
an eight-note.
Thus you can play chords,
not merely a
single
note
at a
time.
On
the
CS-60,
there
are
twelve factory preset patches,
one programmable
panel
and one miniature version of the panel that
serves as a
memory
for
any
additional voice
you
wish
to
store.
The CS-50
has an extra preset instead of the
memory
panel.
Thus,
when you
have
programmed
the
panel (and
memory
on
the
CS-60),
you can
select
from
14
different
sounds
at
The
touch of
a finger.
The Programmable
Panel
If
you
wish
to hear
what
the
PANEL
controls
do
as
you
read
about them,
press the
PANEL
button on
the
Tone
Selector
13)
,
turn
up the
Volume
[2),
and
be
sure the Foot Controller (expression pedal)
is flat
(maximum
volume).
NOTE: Before
starting,
it is
advisable to
set all
other
controls
at their
nominal
positions, as
shown, because
many
controls
and
functions are interrelated.
