It only affects released keys....Notes held are unaffected by the
differences across the zones...if you dont like the change adjust your
master brightness to make up for it..I have had 2 cs80s since
1979...they both did it as I wanted it to.....I use this all the
time...Nothing else does this....does not make it wrong..makes it a
characteristic..thus the popularity amongst the 2,000 manufactured
units..you will also notice that the pitch bend doesnt work on released
notes.....I suggest you pick up the arturian version as they dont have
this "flaw" in their soft synth yet but we are trying to get it
implemented.....in the vs 2....
