Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You could consider getting a Yamaha Reface CS or something just for the synth sounds.
- I saw the Yamaha Reface CS and Korg MicroKORG 2 recommended. They seem like more reasonable choices as a first synth than the EP-1320
- Yamaha reface CS. No presets - you have to create the sounds and that teaches you a lot.. it's polyphonic and sounds great too
- These look like toys but are powerful and make quality sounds. Yamaha makes good stuff. ... The CS is a slider-based additive synth without presets.
- I was going to suggest a Yamaha reface CS. It seems perfect because it’s a legit good synth, what you see is what you get panels, some effects, can be battery powered, and speakers which is perfect for a 10 year old.
Cons
- I’m rocking a Behringer TD 3MO, a Yamaha reface CS, and a volca sample 2.
- because i love playing polyphonic, i added a yamaha reface cs. the idea was to play things and edit them further in the dt, which feels to me still not really natural. the going back and forth from one device to another, programming the...
- The CS simplifies sync, FM, and ringmod functions into oscillator "modes" which you control with just a "texture" and "mod" slider. This makes it a lot easier to use more advanced functions, but you don't have the same level of detailed...
- Yamaha Reface CS — Intuitive interface but can’t save patches
- After initial consideration I have ruled out Yamaha Reface CS as seems a bit basic.

because i love playing polyphonic, i added a yamaha reface cs. the idea was to play things and edit them further in the dt, which feels to me still not really natural. the going back and forth from one device to another, programming the recorded sound into the step sequencer. also that feels too overkill to me, just like too much and i dont want my whole table full of devices.

Yamaha Reface CS — Intuitive interface but can’t save patches
The CS is basically fader-per-function and it has a stereotypical subtractive analog architecture. ... It reads like you haven't put in the practice yet to use what is a very "WYSIWYG" *(what you see is what you get)* synth in a live setting.
