Subject: Re: [yamahacs80] Need help with no sawtooth wave on voice 1 channel 1 card and one G key aftert.

Sounds like you have a faulty waveshaper on channel one. I don't have the
service info in front of me so can't guide you through it.
If you're confident opening it up, I'd remove the M card for that voice
from the frame and put a scope on the triangle out of the waveshaper
chip and see if you're getting anything.
If you are, trace the signal with the aid of the schematic up to the switch
and so on to see where it disappears.
AT fault with either be a faulty sensor, or a faulty chip. Again if your
confident opening it up, I'd trace the AT signal from the key sensor, and
trace it back.
If you're not sure about opening it up, get someone who knows CS series to
have a look. These are sensitive machines, so you have to show a bit of
respect when poking around.

Hope that helps.
