Yamaha CS80

In sustain I , the order that you release notes alters the rotation of
oscillators...

A new note will take the oscillator that has been "available"
the longest time...

Held notes will not be stolen if there is an available released
oscillator...

once all notes are held, any additional note will steal the oscillator
that has been helds longest...

A CS80 quirk is oscillator 8 will not be triggered in the rotation
unless another oscillator is held at the time its turn comes up....and
the pitch at time of release does not follow the modulator to the
destination....only notes held continue with pitch bend and portamento
cycle.


in sustain II, the new trigger will cancel the releasing sounds of the
available oscillators.It still rotates between the oscillators but the
type of mode makes it appear last note stolen because the pitch
assigned to the new oscillator through  portamento, start from the
point of the last oscillatorplayed...if all notes are held,
additional triggering will steal the note held longest .

Subject: [yamahacs80] Help understand Sustain II

Hi all
I ask your kind help in explaining the difference between "Sustain" I
and II.
A first question: what is the method of stealing the notes with CS80
in Sustain I, I mean, how the notes are stealed when all voices are
assigned when Sustain I is applied? Is it "steal the oldest note"?
And what about the Sustain II? Does the method change to "steal the
last played note"?
Question is: if the KAS assigns to newest note all the time, why the
envelopes do retrigger in "Sustain I" ?
Please, Kent or Chris or anybody skilled, the patents or documents on
JH's site don't help me, can you give me a simpleexplaination?
Thanks for your care.
Max
