Thanks Stan!



Fyi there is an error on the first page of the manual. You have to hit the red button 2 times in succession to enter midi program mode, once and hold to enter transpose mode.

Hi Alex,

I have the midi control in mine but never used it. I will try it and let you know what mine does. It will be about a week.

Subject: [yamahacs80] Questions About Kenton Midi Kit

Hello everyone,

I recently had a Kenton Midi Kit installed into a CS80.. It looks like something was not done correctly during the installation, since the mod and pitch wheels are not working. I have tried 2 different controllers; notes are being triggered, aftertouch and program changes work, but the wheels do not.. It does not matter if the toggle switch is up or down.. I have tried to reset the midi mode, which returns everything to the default settings, but no success. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Also I am not sure if the red button is working properly. I spoke with Harry at Kenton, and when you enter midi program mode (by hitting the button 2 times in succession) there should be no sound being triggered in the CS80 when you play different keys on the controller, to assign different midi settings. But when I am in the midi program mode, the CS is still playing notes from the controller. The transpose mode does seem to be working. Harry was not 100% sure there should be no sound, since he did not have a CS80 in the shop. Can anyone tell me if I should here notes triggered from the CS while its in midi program mode?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Alex
