Hello Mr. Bond!
My CS-80 might have a similar problem to yours. Does the aftertouch
work consistently across the keyboard if you play just one key at a
time?
The problem with mine is that the poly-aftertouch seems to have limited
polyphony in the middle octaves. If I hold down a key in the middle
octave and then press additional keys and try to trigger the
aftertouch, it often will not engage. For some reason it's not a problem in
the upper and lower octaves.
I've always assumed this is due to a dodgy component on my TKC board but haven't got around to getting it looked at properly... especially since it's perfectly usable as-is, and I'd hate to create five new problems by attempting to fix one!

Hello,
Recently, I experience aftertouch not working on a part of the keyboard,
then the not working keyboard part becomes good, and the others (working before) become bad etc...and every 2 or 3 minutes it changes
place, and I never get the whole keyboard having aftertouch, always some octaves yes, some octaves no.
Anyone would have any clue?
