Yamaha CS80

While restoring this CS50 I thought, that a mono-unisono mode would be
very helpful for tuning. So I am looking for a description of that
modification (especially for a CS50). I've searched the groups archive
for it, but did not find any details about it. I only found it mentioned
as taken for known.

Are there any detailed explanations somewhere?

I tried to understand the principle of the KAS board, but I don't find
any signal that resets the voice counter. I also don't find any
significant difference between the KAS board of a CS50 and a CS60 (at
least in this aspect).

Just set the envelopes to a long release time, and press the same key
4 times. The CS voice allocation picks new voices each time, an the
tails of your four voices will overlap. :-)

Hello Mattias

my request is not about unisono because of its sound.

I'd need it for the adjustment procedure. I would add a switch to the
gate lines, so I could deactivate all voices but one (or some voices).
Your method may still work for the pitch adjustment, but for setting the
envelope times, I really have to have a synchronous start of the two
voices I am comparing.

Aha, I see, sorry - I thought you were referring to pitch adjustment
when you said tuning.

Agreed, for envelope time adjustment my method would be of no use. But
how about simply pressing four keys at the same time, trigging all the
envelopes at the same time? (-:

/mr - wouldn't want my CS-50 voices more closely calibrated than that ;-)
