Re: CS-80 key trigger problem and the fix

2010-05-15 by mborish_2000

I think that I might have the same problem. My keybed acts funny from the top key down to the C#. It will trigger, somewhat strange noises, if I have another key pressed in a lower octave. Is this the same problem? How did you troubleshoot it and fix it?
