saw these 2 babies second hand… could not not buy both … jeeee so much fun! … so simple, so small, so toyish, so old… so full of character! … soooooo … could stack these in my room, honestly! … wish to compare with a mk2 model …
.
.
good times! so simple, I almost understand what I am doing … got the SH101 as well,… it is like their brother from another mother …
…
.
this synth sounds like a mix of donkey kong and moogs little sister…
.
…
yamaha cs01 … love anybody?
Yes! I love the CS01. I’m borrowing a friend’s one at the moment but it’s really beaten up, with some dodgy mods and broken keys.
But yeah, I love how it can sound super chippy, when the filter is open and PWM is rockin’.
Yeah PWM is killer .
Mines on the bench awaiting its midi input mod. One day.
hey guys… midi and / or CV would be lovely… but I d like to see a mod where the battery fucntionality would not be compromised! …
.
.
which other mods do you have ? who does these reliably? how much are these?.
.
.
bear in mind, that another use in this forum “jokingly” said the word Sh808 instead of Sh101, and I was blown away by what I found after googling it …
…
.

glad I bought 2 x cs01s at once … so no worries about having to mod 1 of them… just hard to decide whether I take the black or the grey one … also would like to have the mk2 model … but these little fuckers are actually not easy to come by, here in germany at least (unless you have too much money flowing around 
)
Sorry, cant remember where, but I found mods and the midi in kit online.
Highly Liquid makes the MIDI kit. They have even instructions especially for CS01 on their forum.
Thats the one.
They are fantastic. I stuffed up the power and blew my chip, they sent me a new one free of charge 
.
hmmm not having a soldering iron, but having a voltmeter (which I have no idea how to use), having never sodlered anything but having an osciloscope (for shits and giggles) … would the highly liquid UMR2 http://www.highlyliquid.com/
be too much for a first ever project?
Hard to say. Its just soldering jumper wires to the board, but finding the points on your synth/speaknspell/whatever, could be difficult. Unless its one they discuss on there site with instructions.
Edit; there website has changed.
i guess i will let it rest for the moment … or, anybody around berlin to do the job for me? Guga?
9 years later, I reply to express my love for CS01! And I still use it today.
