Re: [yamahacs80] MY CS-80 IS SICK. HELP!!

2012-06-16 by David Rogoff

Hi!

Could be a few things:
Wave converter chip creates the saw/square
One of the filter chips
VCA that controls the filter level

Hope for the last one, since that's just one of the IG00151 VCA chips 
that are all over the CS80 - and other Yamaha synths and organs - and 
pretty easy to get.

Should be very easy to trace with a scope - or even a amplifier if 
you're low tech.  Where are you located?

This is obviously more noticeable if I silence the bottom row, and if I mix both rows equally it becomes barely perceptible, kinda' like a muffled note caused by hitting the key too slowly.
