hi stephen, one of the "real" techies on here would know better than me, but when i have a pot/switch that isnt working, the first thing i do is measure the resistance of said pot/switch across its pins. if you do this with a DVM and the switch is working, you know its not the physical switch. next thing i would guess is the multiplexer that's responsible for that switch. i dont know the cs60, but i know that cs40's have a "YM617" multiplexer chip, as well as some of the 4000-series CMOS chips do this also. those are my best guesses. good luck, someone here surely knows better than i.

Hi there!



Thankfully I seem to have sorted out the CS60 wrong notes being played

problem (probably some dirt between some legs of some chip on the KAS

board, I dusted it off well and it's working fine now, fingers crossed

it stays that way!).



So onto the second problem, the CS60 appears to be stuck in Sustain II

mode, even when I switch it to Sustain I mode (only the last note

sustains all the time). From the circuit diagram the Sustain II switch

is connected to the SH board, are there any points here I could be

measuring to narrow down what's at fault? (I presume only two wires

should be soldered onto the Sustain I/II switch, which is currently

the case here)



Also (this may be related), when I have sustain off and the attack

right down to 0, all the notes sound straight away when I play them as

they should. However when I turn sustain up (either on the VCO or on

the panel on the left) and play chords, the attack is delayed for some

of the voices, is this something that could be fixed by

re-tuning/calibrati ng the voices? (the actual tuning is fine though)



Thanks in advance and let me know if I need to explain myself better here!



-Stephen
