- There are many blue 90's synths, but this one is mine. Lets see what the CS1x can still do and create a full late 90's trance track using this synth as only sound source.
It may not be a Roland JP8000 or a Novation Supernova but this blue beauty still deserves a spot in my studio in 2021 !

Ill never understand why so many people look down on Trance. Its really unique in that it is dancey and energetic but also has a strong emotional/atmospheric intensity to it. And a lot of the time does this without the help of lyrics.
because it expands your mind, cannot be made by big label engineers or their fake artists, puts you outside the normie consumer sphere, and exalts and reafirm your european identity, that is why. It was originally introduced (electronic music) as a gateway to make all europeans abuse drugs, but in reality it cause to expand consciousness and no hard drug abuse, it is now a problem to the globalist oligarchs. independent good music
Because trance has depth and emotion which people lack, that's why they like easy and simple songs because that's how they are themselves 😋 trance is a gift from the heavens♥️
You mention ‘nostalgic sounds’ a lot but there’s more here than just nostalgia. You can call the classic 80s synth powerhouses nostalgic and everyone can agree, but there was something about 90s gear that had a mysterious and futuristic vibe going on. Pair that with the fact that futurism was much more prominent in the 90s than it is now (people generally had a positive outlook on the future back then), and you get a deep magical feeling that other eras never matched.
Digital production these days is so wide open and there’s some amazing stuff out there to discover, but nothing can match that 90s magic. The modern trance scene certainly lost it, and they are constantly digging up classics to rehash and remix, but don’t understand what made those classic to begin with. Instead we end up with over compressed, over limited, hissing white noise, ear fatigue, cookie cutter patterns, uninspired chords, and festival fodder sound. Or ‘underground’ Sean Tyas knockoffs devoid of soul and dynamics.
All of this to say that I’m quite fond of your 90s video series, and felt some magic in your final product here. I’ve been improving my sound and composition for a while to bring this magic trance vibe I grew up with back. Then, you showed up with these videos and made it look easy. I know that it certainly isn’t!
Really excited to see what else you make, and hoping that you one day help push trance back to what made it so special to begin with.
Thanks ! And what you say about the 90's having a more positive, futuristic outlook rings quite true to me.
^Incredibly poignant.
Amen to that bro!
Couldn’t agree more! 🙏
This comment gave me shivers.... fully agree! I miss this old trance music...
Better than most trance you would hear today. Loving the 90s trance series of videos! Keep er lit
late 90's early 2000 (generation 2) trance sounds the best for me
Wow, this track would definitely have been picked up by record companies had it been released in the late 90s. Sounds like something you'd find on Dream Dance
Or Club Rotation.
Thanks again Jonas, My mind was beamed away to another trance state. I guess older synth small or big had their own character. I'm glad you can push that CS1x to its limits. "its' not the product, it's the user".
I cant believe I've found a producer uploading this particular style of music, and the next day after I discover the 90s trance video and sub, you drop another one focusing on the one synth in the video I wasn't aware of. Your work is excellent as well as the editing. I'm excited for what comes next.
Thanks :) And lots more music and synths to come, old and new !
More 90‘s trance tracks please!
Absolutely!!
Your tracks are amazing and they make me feel like it's 1999 again, when I was 18 years old. The very clear explanations make it look like it's easy to do this kind of stuff, but certainly it isn't, you need a lot of talent and "know how" to achieve this level in music production. Congrats Jonas.
Im not saying that the CS1x is a bad synth but in the hands of a guy like this its better then some much more loved synths can sound. I have a CS1x and a CS6x Love both these keyboards for different reasons. I really must get back to making music again. Thanks for the inspiration
what I love about your music is that it sounds both nostalgic but timeless at the same time... feels like the times you're referring to but at the same time feels like something I would listen to now... absolutely great music.. I have all these soft synths and I'm trying to some up with good stuff like you but it feels I'm missing something that vibe sauce you put in... thank you for sharing.
Your videos are some of the most informative on YT. I love how you walk through the construction of an actual track/ genre. Nice work.
I just dusted my CS1x off a few weeks ago. Fell in love with it again... little blue '90s wonder. It was my first synth and still hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for bringing back into attention!
my pleasure ☺️
In Trance we trust.
I remember listening to trance when it first came out and I've loved it ever since.
So many different types of trance and every one of them loved.
Another killer video.
The breakdown at 10:29 is just fucking amazing, got my childhood in front of my eyes again
YES!
Another great track! It's great to see the process (both technical and creative) used to produce this style of music. One can appreciate the mastery behind the work when "play around with it" usually means insert the magic to make the difference between generic and memorable. Once again thank you for this!
these classic techno jams you put together really rock...
I don't own a synth and I only have a rudimentary understanding of music theory. However, I've stumbled across this channel and I can't stop watching these videos. Thanks for bringing a huge smile to this middle-aged man who is closing his eyes and is imagining he is clubbing again in the 90s. The advantage this time is I don't have to deal with the comedown 😉
Travelling without moving 🕺
@@Estuera What a great way to put it. Music has a very special ability to do that. It can retrieve memories that were almost forgotten and the emotions tied to them.
100% agree.
I'm quite sure there was a track with that title btw but can't remember what it was.
@@Estuera Jamiroquai's
yes! love these videos. so cool man
I'm 42 and remember those days. This track gave me goosebumps. Well done sir.
And again an awesome track you created here. Sounds great to me!
I simply love these let’s create videos.
Keep it coming Jonas. You’re legend!
This is awesome, schitterend!
OMG....I love these sounds !!!!
Great work! You put a lot of effort into that track. Yamaha had a good run in the 90s, the stuff they built was really interesting and innovative.
Great video. Kudos for showing how much you can get from a single and clearly underrated instrument like this. I'm fascinated with the millennial era in dance music and the production methods of the times.
holy shit dude! that "no sleep" riff is so good.
Love all the trance episodes! Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are just the best. Easy to follow, very to the point and they prove that you can achieve quite a lot with quite little. Thanks for making these. :)
Very cool track! Love the lead sound. It's like a mix between Sasha - Xpander and Belgian trance.
Amazing mix. Truly fantastic
This is simply amazing!
This is epic, absolutely epic. I would buy this on vinyl. This needs released. I demand it lol. Truthfully, you have nailed what is missing from today's trance music scene.
Thanks for showing each part being played, I'm learning from trance guys on sonic academy, but they don't show the parts being played so clearly. Thanks, it's very easy to get lost over thinking this stuff when someone doesn't explain it as well as you do
Started watching this channel because I saw the CS1x (first synth I ever bought!) took me a long time to really fall in love with it but I actually use it for a lot of art rock tracks, it's got a super distinct and nostalgic feeling that can set it apart from any synthesizer IF you program it correctly.
Please share some of the music you did with the CS1x. I know quite a lot of (old school) edm producers that used it but I never heard much music outside that genre featuring this synth. Curious if I would still recognize it immediately in that context.
It was my first synth as well! It came out with a companion sampler called the "Yamaha SU10". The small shelf on the right side of the CS1x is where the SU10 is supposed to sit.
Love the track!
I'm enjoying your videos more and more. Good job!
Takes me way back. Nice work.
Dude! Another winner! I loved that track, although I love ALL your tracks! I need to get me one of those CS1x's!! lol
Its amazing what you can do with just one synth and some talent. Keep'm coming!
Thanks 😊 And will do 😉
Nice! I have an AN1x, bought it brand new. It was my first synth and I still own it. Love your videos, especially the 90s stuff.
OMG I LOVE THIS
Awesome video as always! Keep it up!
That track is deadly!!!! Awsome!!!
This track could be source of zillions of remixes!
Korg M1 was underestimated in the full potential of its synthesis programming. By combining its many DWGS analog waveforms with PCM or transient sampling, you can produce very interesting sounds or full-bodied frequency spectrum sounds that are just not possible with FM or analog synths alone. That's very similar to what D-50 does, except M1 is equipped with much better PCM. It's a pity people just tend to use factory preset than explore the possibility and have fun
Fully agree. A while back I did a video that was specifically about that. Going beyond the presets on the Korg M1: czcams.com/video/ZKdzu-LFR-I/video.html
@@Estuera Do a tutorial on the m1 vst Jonas please
m1 is a toy
Man! I'm jaming this song non stop all morning!
Great result!
The absolute mad lad back at it again with an amazing late 90's Trance beauty of a track !.. You need to do an EP.
great video i love all these synthesizers looking forward for more videos. Also i love the 90´s sound a lot.
Nice track, definitely brings back the 90's feel. CS1X was my first synth. I don't think people understand, but for it's time it was an affordable synth and I think I paid 650.00 for it. It's amazing what you would get now for way less. Still it was a good first synth and it survived a lot of gigs.
I just bought one second hand a couple of months back for $100! Great little synth.
On my lunch at work checking out some of your videos and this one lept out at me! That old 90s trance sound is amazing I've always loved it and it's hard to replicate with only VST's and no room for any hardware.
I've been making a lot of piano trancey style dnb tunes of late so I've combined two of my fave genres together.
This is the music I am looking for... you can do magic!
Nice. A nod to old school trance but still sounds fresh. Love it.
Wow thats a very fantastic 90s trance track, something which im trying to come up myself.
This sounds pretty much like the tracks we have from these days, i love it. you also captured that mysterious atmosphere, which we had back in the days.
Im still trying to remake Push - The Legacy (Club Mix) - that bassline and and Pluck lead really put me always a smile in the face.
With modern synths (soft) they is very hard :/
Thanks for the motivation and inspiration \o/ Looking forward to future videos.
Ohh you made me buy a cs1x. Just picked it up a day ago and I am definitely not disappointed. I love that high end and bit of crunch when you open the filter and resonance. This synth has a huge sweet spot there ❤❤
Enjoy!
I still use it a lot in new productions actually. I especially love the pads.
Amazing. Love this. Time to dust of my cs1x. You're an inspiration!
Even if there is a lot of Cubase processing, you made me realize my CS1x deserves actually more love than it currently has... PS : You are very good at "just a matter of building a track" BTW ☺️
Goosebumps!
my liking for late 90s/early 00's trance definitely stems from the RISE FM radio station in GTA III. Such a great selection of progressive house and trance. Love this sound! Pure euphoria
that game is also what introduced me to drum n bass with the MSX FM station. They really went off with DJ Timecode and MC Codebreaker
@@lavenderllamamusic check msx 98 from liberty City stories ;)
@@lavenderllamamusic oh, and an annother great set from GTA is Deadmaus/bsod radio from Chinatown wars.
Fantastic trance, love your videos, thumb up!
Geweldig! Ik ben blij dat youtube mij naar u heeft doorgewezen! Zelf ben ik aan het experimenten met "moderne" elektronische muziek, maar die 90's tunes zijn meer pakkend vind ik... Peace vanuit België!
You know I love this type of trance more about the melody and the groove, I will say though I listen to the more darker side of this trance like brainbug
Sounds very nice!
Found my new favorite channel...
Recently got into ''electronic'' music and synthesizers, got a cs1x 2nd hand for a great price. Seen so much hate about it online. No idea why, from everything i looked into (and my literally brand new to this knowledge of about 1 month) - it seems like the golden ticket to getting into learning synths (i looked into a ton before i found this for such a good price.)
This was incredible man. :). Had no idea it could make something like this!
Nice one!
That's great, I had to sell my old yamaha cs1x because of money and room space issues, but I will never forget this amazing yamaha synth.
I love Trance, good job!
Insanely good lead riff and chord progression
Xpander vibes! Great video!
Thank you mate you deserve so many more subs but here’s one more for you from UK, your work inspires me to create 🤩😎
Thanks for the sub :) and now go and make some music ! Honored that I could help you get inspired :)
I have same synth still love it till now ! nice vid !
Great track, great video, informative and inspirative. Thx
Great track with the Yamaha CS1x!
I have CS1x, CS2x and the CS6x, the CS6x is one of my favorite in my studio ever!
Back in 1997, when I was 17 years old, I dropped out of college and got a job to save up pay for my CS1x. I still don't regret that decision 😁
Holy shit dude you know how to make 90s bangers!!😂 I have this keyboard and although it's old I love it. It's great for creating dance music and that's what I heard but I didn't know what was possible until now!! 😂👍👍 Damn dude I want more tracks! That processed arpeggiator track was nuts! It's was the exact sound I have been looking for!
Because of your videos, i'm about to buy a cs1x, nice synth :) (Nice video btw)
Amai! 😍👌
i'm sixty...i'm french. iknew first rave parties....this sound just remind me so memories... just thank you
Awesome vid! Always like the folk that give these CS1x' some proper and much deserved love!
Roland sure had a Godlike status back in those days.
But I like my Yamaha's just as much! CS1x, CS2x and later AN1x that overpowers the JP-8000 on pretty much every aspect but didn't win the popularity contest. I still have them all, working perfectly where the JP died on me too soon. So yeah, Yamaha for the win!
And although I'm collecting 90's and 00's synths for the fun of it, playing on them for hours at the time for years now, I've never managed to actually produced a track. And then I find your channel, and showing me it just isn't all that dificult. All I need to do it change a mindset, and focus on that instead of loosing myself running thru the mazes of synthesis finding pretty sounds all the time which turn collecting the sounds for a track in half an hour to continuously tweaking knobs from 16:00 till 5:30 on a workingday.
Keep em coming!
Greetz,
Kryss
Amazing!
Gevaarlik :) Nice track keep up the fantastic work.
I love the MIDI module in it its a nice bonus and i love the Final Fanrasy MIDIS for it
Nailed it.
You earned a sub with this video. First synthesizer I ever bought (back then for 1100 DM - Deutsche Mark) but I never really went deep into it. I was mostly using the presets and doing fun stuff like turning the Arp on for drums to create wicked techno drum loops while pressing 4 keys down lol. Thanks for refreshing my brain how good this thing actually is!
Thanks and welcome :)
wonderful!!
very good stuff
SUPERB - this takes me back to all night raves bashing the sounds! I only have an SH201 now. I had to get rid of my 'BIG' synths due to ack of space (Korg M3 and Roland Fantom X6)
Гениально, классное видео. Музыка просто улёт 🙌🙌✨
I'm not a trance/techno fan but this is a good example of really artistic mind and knoledge in action. Good work mate!
Thanks 😊
Great!!!!
Very nice,ty!
VERY good work! Likes Mauro Picotto in the 90!
This is just awesome. You just nail these beats. I guess now the price for the CS1x's will go up :D
Tbh they already are getting a bit overpriced. Lets hope this doesn't make it worse 😁
@@Estuera too late m8, this song's too good to not make it worse!
When I need a time-travel, I either watch a "Doctor Who" episode or one of your 90's vids! Btw. love this! Totally loved the trance of the 90's and the Epic sound of 2000-2001, and this is totally like the tunes of that time. I'm sure Tiesto, Ferry and Armin would have played that back then!
Superb
Hey man! I used to have a cs1x in the 90´s as well hehe! Can't remember who I sold it to here in Sweden :P Love your track! The drop is HUGE!!! Melodic Trance at it's best!
Wow this sounds epic, it definitely has that early trance vibe. That lead and gated pad sound is good enough to be in any modern trance track today :D
Sound better than 95% of todays trance. There's something about those sounds.
Arpeggios are the coolest thing ever!
Hallo Jonas! Vette track!
Dank je ! :)
Love it. ❤
CS1x was my fist synthetic love - damn how much I used it and learned how to program it - here it was important to know how to dump sysx files to the synth to achieve even fatter sounds :D - Sold my piece in the early 00s and regret it to this day... :o
do you where to find tutorials , I have read the manual many times ins 20 years find it uselesss for mor advanced programing.
So You are the proof that is possible to make good trance today 🤩 maybe any 90s style hard trance?
