You can get close to unison operation with Sustain Mode II and Sustain
slider all the way up - this will have a pemanent long Release tail, but
would be ok for service purposes (all boards sounding at the same note).
You can even use this for ordinary 4-VCO solo playing when you run the CS50
thru an external VCA (with its own envelope - from a modular system etc.)
when you bring out the Trigger signal that controls the Ring Mod envelope

the next 19 hours, if all goes well.)

Subject: [yamahacs80] Re: One more techie question.......
having several of the same voice card is one nice thing about working
on the CS series.. too bad they arent removable or pulling and
swapping would help speed up the repair process. Jupiter 4 is a
similar animal in this regard.
are there any notes online on how to perform a simple unison mod to a
CS50/60/80? I would like to put the CS50 i have in unison mode for
this repair.. worst case scenereo if I cant get all the M boards
working I can detune the 2 or 3 that I can repair and make one hell of
a CS monosynth.
thanks
