Hi Mike
Can you post those files from the CS60 you talked about and get an insight about the KAS' bug? Myself likes the effect a lot...

I can fix the problem if you live in Chicago or want to ship it to me:) Unfortunately, the engineers made an error when they designed the KAS and SH boards. Fortunately, it can be corrected. My fix removes about half of the double triggering too.
Here's how I illustrate the bug to my customers: Play a C chord on the 8' footing in your right hand with two C's an octave apart in the left hand on C1 & C2. Remove your right hand and take your pinky off C1. The C under your thumb should be waaay off now. Now play a B flat1 with your index finger without removing your thumnb on C2 and listen to C2 jump up! The double triggering issue makes the problem more apparent. Long sustain in sustain I makes it more apparent too.
A lot of folks don't even notice because the bass notes are so distorted in machines that haven't been tuned or serviced with new caps.
In my opinion, this bug is one of the reasons that people think the CS series goes out of tune so much and has a bad reputation!
If anybody cares, I'll post an audio file of a CS-60 that I'm about to fix up and a CS-80 that I just fixed the bug on.
