Yamaha CS80

HI guys

I Downloaded the CS80 manual from the Yamaha site and noticed it was
way different then the one I got with my synth.

I posted some bad pics of it as well as the brochure - both are dated
1977. the pics should be fine to look at until I get a chance to scan
the docs.

Yeah, It's different than my manual. Yours has the third wah/expression button that isn't on my CS-80.

I was going to ask about that..I've seen CS80s with the 3 buttons..
mine just has the 2 like yours tho it shows 3 in the manual.. i guess
the 3 was the original production run or something?

To my knowledge, the three-button model was a prototype only. I´ve seen a prototype that has a split block of preset selectors as well as a keyboard that ends with a C sharp. Another one I´ve seen has all preset selectors in one colour (in a contemporary ad, featuring also the GX-1 and the GS-1/2). I guess these models were rushed out in a hurry in order to have something to show at various music fairs, probably they weren´t even playable at all.

Thanks - I never heard of this variation. Could you post a
close-up/higher-res of picturer CS-9 so we can read the description of
the 3 buttons.

David

The CS80 at Audities in Calgary has the 3 buttons.. to my knowledge
its not a proto:

http://www.audities.org/audities/collection/yamaha_cs80_1.html

the 3 buttons are:

EXP
EXP/WHA
WHA

the 3 button versions must be the very early ones or something.
