Yamaha CS80

FYI, there's a great thread going over at the Harmony Central boards:

It's about special/rare keyboard features like poly-aftertouch, release velocity, ribbon controllers, etc.

I just put in a couple of comments there, including about the (as far as I know) unique Sustain I/II modes.  Does anyone know of any other keyboards, besides the CS50/60/80 that have this ability to have a long release time but have new notes cut off old ones?  I think it's an amazing feature of the CS80 and have never seen it anywhere else.

As I wrote, I think it would have to be done at the sound engine side of things. I don't know if it would be possible on a MIDI controller.  I don't think there's any MIDI message to cut off sustaining notes.  I don't even think a MIDI panic would do that.
