Re: [yamahacs80] Voice allocation ?

2009-02-17 by rj krohn

yes, it does, although you would think if that was the intent, they would have
done the m-boards with harnesses, instead of hard wired.

what i havent taken the time to figure out(and why i really want one to put in one of those
LED voice indicator circuits) is how the rotation works AFTER voice 8 has been 
"tagged in".

(ps-where would those LED's tap into? is it hard, or just LED's on breadboard? david, you did this right?)

            Greetings CS experts,



Just joined this group since I'm working on a little project and 

thought someone might know the answer to a question that's been 

bugging me.

As I understand it, the voice allocation on the CS80 only cycles 

round 7 of the 8 voices, unless more than one note is played, in 

which case the eighth voice joins in.

Is this correct ?

This is how the assignment works on the GX1, which is my real area 

of interest, but I figured there were more people around with CS80s 

who might have figured this out (if it is also true on the 80).

The only explanation I can think of as far as the GX goes is that 

the presence of a 7/8 voice switch to limit the KAS to using 7 

voices instead of 8 meant it was too complex to implement the voice 

allocation IC otherwise. Presumably the 7/8 voice switch is there to 

work round a dead M-board.

Does the CS80 also have a 7/8 switch ?



Cheers,

Colin f
