Re: Yamaha CS70M Pitch bend problem

2009-02-18 by Anders Eriksson

Yes it's completely different on the CS-80 with a 
ribbon, but you say that pitchbending up from zero on the CS-80, 
thats one octave up, i wonder if the cv voltage doubles on the CS-80 
to?
 
It must be something that limits the pitchbend on my CS70M (last 6 
keys) when CV voltage passes 5.7 volts the pitch freeze, it seems 
that the highest key voltage for my VCO's i 5.7 volts. 
Keyboard voltage on the CS70M is: 
Lowest C: 125mv
Highest C: 4V
