Not that I've ever seen. There were only about 1000 CS80 made. I'd guess there's about half of them left alive and maybe 200 people who'd want and pay for a MIDI mod. I'd also guess that at least half of that last group already has had a Kenton installed so there's not a big market for an extremely complicated interface.

I just wish Kenton would add MIDI out to their kit!
