Subject: Re: [yamahacs80] Rogoffs' voice trigger LED board schematic?

Yes - I did that on my CS60 many years ago. However, on a CS80 there’s two issues: which M card do you put it on? Already you have the issue of no driver transistor so you start loading the gate signal and a CS80 has that going to two different cards for each of the eight. If you put LEDs on all 16 cards, then you’re really loading down the gate signals. If you get really efficient, low-current LEDs and use big limiting resistors (equals very dim lights), you can probably get away with it.
