This brings up my occasional reminder for those stuck with a bad voice card: it's pretty easy to put in a jumper on the KAS board and disconnect the audio output of the 2 M cards for voice 8. This gives you a 7-voice CS-80 with 2 spare cards to steal parts from for the other 14! Not the best solution, but free and easy and many folks wouldn't notice the missing note. Works on CS-60/50 too, and you can disable any number of voices (a CS-50 is just jumpered to use only 4 voices) for extreme cases. You can't, however, have it disable a voice in the middle of the 8 - it must be from the end - so you can't quickly shut off an arbitrary bad voice card like some synths can do.
