Yamaha CS80

Is this what yours looked like: http://www.matrixsynth.com/CS60mod.gif.  This is on mine.  I actually really, really like it and leave it on most of the time.  The sound is much fuller layered but obviously you get cut down to 4 voices.  Mine came this way, so I couldn't help implementing the mod myself.

  In my CS60, such a mod was done.
  The Gate signals were simply connected together in pairs (with a switch),
  apparently
  forming some weird wired-OR.
  In a 3rd switch position, the Gates were connected in two quadruples,
  obviously
  aiming at a two-voice, 4-note stack.
  First thing I did was getting rid of this modification.
  It _sort_of_ worked, but not really perfectly. Probably becaus eof the
  comlex
  voice allocation in the CS-Synths.
  The right way to do it, IMO, would be like this:
  In 4-Voice mode, use the output pin for the 5th Gate as an input pin with
  the right logic level
  (look up CS-50 and CS-60 schemos for details), and connect Voice board 5's
  CV to
  Voice board 1's CV, 6 to 2, and so on.
  Disclaimer: I have *NOT* done this myself, I do not really recommend it
  (otherwise
  I would have done it on my CS-60), and apart from this mail, I won't be of
  much help
  if you want to do this in yout precious instrument.
