[sdiy] Yamaha CS-60 issues

[TERRY SHULTZ]

Hi Al,

I spoke with Paul Morte and he indicated that the YM2600 is going for about $2000  USD these days.

Where are you located at . Perhaps you could ask Paul to evaluate for the 1/2 hour inspection fee.

It could save you a lot of fussing.

>>> I am working on a CS-60 that has a strange issue with the Brillance controllers on the right. They LO lever seems to work correctly. However the HI lever changes the pitch of the notes when you pull the lever down. It shifts the pitch up as well as adding unwanted artifacts to the sound. I'm scratching my head as to why this might be happening. I'm assuming something is going wrong in the KBC circuit.
