Subject: Key Coder ( LSI )

I was told by John Price of Kenton Electrnics that the reason the
key coder LSI IC goes from voice 1-7 and bake again to 1 leaving 8
until you hold down two keys together was because when they were
designed they were ment for the Yamaha organs of the time. The 8th
channel was left clear for the pedal board assingment. I don't know
if this is true or not but the more I think about it the more it
seems to make sence. (maybe)
Rant of the week:
Seeing a ad for a Yamaha CS80 for sale and then finding out when you
phone it that it is a 80cc step though moped. AHHHHHHHHHH!
