Hi all This is especially for Juergen. I've been happy to read a nice discovery you made about the differences between amount and speed modulation in the CS80, I refer to your message on the Analogue Heaven board of October 16th, 2003; Quoting > You never stop learning - last night I read a CS-80 review at > www.amazona.de , and suddenly learned that the smaller CS-synths > are missing another fine detail of the CS-80: Sub Osc (LFO) speed > modulation via aftertouch! > > Surprised that I never had noticed this before, a question > was immediatly arising: The CS-80 has polyphonic aftertouch, but > there is only one Sub Oscillator.

End of quote. So what do you mean when you talk about the maximum number of pressure sensors involved with the Speed trigger of S-O? and what about the % of pressure that allows the trigger of the speed?
