MULTI-SAW - Texture: adds a sub-oscillator tuned down one octave / Mod: creates a layer of several detuned sawtooth waves, resulting in rich beating effects
PULSE - Texture: adjusts the pitch of the second square wave / Mod: allows you to adjust the pulse width
OSCILLATOR SYNC - Texture: changes the pitch and tonal character of the second oscillator / Mod: changes the degree of detuning of oscillator 2
RING MODULATION - Texture: affects the pitch of oscillator 1 / Mod: affects the pitch of oscillator 2
FM - Texture: adjusts the modulation depth / Mod: changes the pitch of the modulating oscillator (OSC2)
Mini, mobile & robust
With the Reface Mobile Mini Keyboards, Yamaha presents four ultra-compact instruments based on legendary sound engines that truly come into their own on the road, on stage and in the studio. Reface is perfect for songwriters, sound designers, stage keyboardists - and anyone who wants to have their musical inspiration with them at all times. With battery-powered operation and an integrated stereo speaker system (that sounds surprisingly good), the Reface quartet is always ready to play. The build quality of the keyboard, housing and controls is significantly better than you would expect from a mini synthesizer.

Rated "GOOD" by Delamar Download Yamaha Reface CS review
Excerpt: The Yamaha Reface CS is a small virtual-analog synthesizer with a very convincing sound. Thanks to its battery operation, compact dimensions and 37 keys, it is extremely portable. The effects and the easy-to-use looper are the icing on the cake. The keys offer a nice playing feel, even if they are very small and not velocity sensitive. Fans of subtractive synthesis in a small format can go for it.
