Yamaha Reface CS

I was a bit skeptical in regards torwards buying this synth, however I must admit I was surprised by it's amazing potential. What this synth will give you that other won't is simple:
- Great controls
- Good quality sound
- The 2 speakers are a welcoming addition
- You can create anything because of the freedom of the controls

Considering that there are no presets with this synth (Which can be both a good or a bad thing) I was hoping to be able to store my own presets, which you can, but you need an Apple based product to do so, and since I own a Samsung, I can not store any of my previously made sound combinations, so at time it might be hard for you to remember how exactly you made a specific sound.
However, this synthesizer is not meant for such performances, this synth is intended for you to have maximum creative options and be able to manipulate the sound in any shape or form for your pleasing.
Overall, I highly recomend this synth, considering the price and the quality that you are getting for what you have paid for.

The synth is very fun to play, all the parameters are there ready to be tweaked and get nice sounds out of this little boy. Very 80´s vibe.
The small keyboard is really pleasant to play, although its size.
The sound is not very "fat", but you can achieve a lot of nice textures very easily. It comes with a nice set of stereo effects which sound great, especially on headphones. In the mix are a little bit weak.
Also is portable run by regular batteries. Faders work quite well, the construction feels quality.
I would recommend it for beginners and also for add a nice, fun, affordable machine to your collection
