Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Yamaha CS80

Hi everyone,

I currently have one of my CS80's opened up and am working on a couple
of faulty voices. Something occured to me, as I am looking at the 'M'
boards closely. It is well documented that moving the CS80 can throw
it out of tune because the type of preset controls used to tune the
synth are prone to vibration effects. It occured to me that virtually
ALL the presets on the 'M' board are of similar or even the same type
and therefore prone to the same problem. That would mean that not only
the tuning would suffer from continued movement but all the VCA and
VCF calibrations as well..!

I wonder which would be the safest plane to move the CS80 on?

I am asuming that leaving it standing on it's castors (as opposed to
lying it flat ie: the same plane as when it is on it's stand) would be
the best.

Anyone with any ideas on the subject?

Cheers all,
TOM
