cs60 voice card in cs80-1 octave lower?

cs60 voice card in cs80-1 octave lower?

2008-04-24 by rj krohn

hi folks, im wondering if anyone has some insight into this....

i dropped an m-board into my cs80 that came from a cs60. all of the EG and VCF functions seem to work properly, but it is 1 octave lower. i assumed i would just tune it up an octave, but then realized that those metal trimmers, i believe, are not "infinite" pots, i.e. i dont think i will be able to tune them up. is there something else i should be doing? a jumper/mod on the board? thanks alot for your help.

There are some resistors that are different on the CS50/60 version of
the M-Board.  Look at the tables on the right side of the schematic
here:

Assuming you have the M-Board you replaced, grab the resistors from it.

thanks a TON! very helpful, and definitely solved the problem. last follow up- since i scavenged R1-5 and VR4-6 from my old 80 board, id like to replace them on the old one, in case i ever need it. R1-5 look like bigger resistors-can i get away with smaller style ones that are close, i.e.39k for the 40k? does R4, the square one, need to be a special make? this is awesome info!!!
