A faithful recreation of the Yamaha CS-40M. Built to follow the original instrument in look, function and sound. A forgotten classic, brought back as a modern plugin.
The interface follows the original CS-40M closely, preserving the structure, workflow and hands-on feel of the hardware instrument.
Dual oscillators, ring modulation, noise, modulation routing, envelopes, filter and amplifier stages recreated as a complete instrument.
vCS-40M is built to capture the organic, musical and slightly unpredictable personality that made the original synthesizer special.
The CS-40M architecture gives you two powerful oscillator sections with rich modulation possibilities and a strong vintage identity.
From metallic movement to experimental textures, the ring modulator is an essential part of the CS-40M sound.
The filter is designed to feel musical and alive, capable of smooth tone shaping as well as aggressive analogue character.
vCS-40M is not a modern synth wearing vintage clothes. It is a hardware emulation built to respect the original Yamaha CS-40M — its panel, its signal flow, its limitations and its strengths. The goal is simple: make the experience of this rare instrument available inside a modern DAW without removing what made it special.
vCS-40M is currently under active development. The goal is to recreate the look, function and sound of the original CS-40M as honestly as possible, while making it stable, practical and usable in a modern production environment.
