CS60 vs CS80

CS60 vs CS80

2007-11-17 by cuari7

I am sure this has been discussed here before, but I'll ask anyway:

Are all of the electronic components of each voice in the CS60
identical to the CS80's?

Just curious...........

Yes, but you need to modify an m-series board from a CS50/60 first before
you can drop it into an 80, im sure kent or scott can give you some better
technical info..

I thimnk it might be something to do with resistors in the
'Transposition Gate' section..?

Would I be right in saying that R's 1~5 would need changing and also
the tuning presets, VR's 4,5&6..?

Cheers,
TOM

Here's what page 41 of the service manual says:

CS80 CS50/60
R1 10k 20k
R2 20k 40k
R3 40k 80k
R4 80k 160k
R5 100 180
VR4 500 1k
VR5 1k 2k
VR6 2k 5k

Basically, the CS80 M-boards are tuned up and octave from the CS50/60
for the same footage inputs. I don't have the CS50 or 60 schematics to
see how the footage/octave switches are wired to the M-Boards.

It also talks about R6 and R7 in the VCF chips varying from CS80 to
CS50/60 according to rank. I don't know what that means. Are the VCFs
hand selected for the different models?

Could that be keyboard follow???

On Pipe Organs, "Rank" refers to the manuals(keyboard tiers)

I posted the schematic of the CS-60 showing the M board to the Octave
switches etc.
It is in the Files section.
