The Yamaha Reface CS is an 8-voice virtual analog synthesizer featuring multiple oscillator types, a lowpass filter, a flexible LFO/EG modulator routing system, and built-in digital effects.

💡 How to configure the Yamaha Reface CS MIDI Editor▼

To control your Yamaha Reface CS from your web browser, connect your synth to your computer using a USB cable or a dedicated USB-to-MIDI interface.

Open the MIDI Settings panel above, set the Output Port to your connected Reface CS device, and select the correct MIDI channel (default is channel 1). Once configured, you can map the MIDI CC layout sliders, draw automated parameter curves, and edit patches in real-time without installing any software.

ℹ️ How MIDI CC Sync Works

MIDI CC is a one-way push protocol. Synthesizers cannot be queried dynamically to read their current parameter values. To synchronize these sliders, select your synthesizer's MIDI Input Port above. When you physically tweak knobs on your synth, the slider positions will instantly update on-screen to match.
