Re: CS80 woes after storage
The issue persists without the 4050 chips.

Re: CS80 woes after storage
What I mean is, remove the IC4 & IC5 chips completely and then power on the
synth without those chips on the KAS board. Does the problem still persist?

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Hi Scott, I've socketed and replaced the 4050 chips but the KB control problem persists (it may have helped with the ribbon pitch issue as i'm not noticing that now).
I'll swap out the 4006s when I

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Regarding the Keyboard Control issue, the outputs are very separate and
very segregated from physical pitch voltage inputs downstream, so thinking
about upstream...
On the large KAS board, are the

Glad you found the issue!
I've installed a couple of those boards and I add quick disconnects (or
connects as the case may be) and a set of instructions that allows the user

Re: CS80 woes after storage
I repaired a CS60 once that showed bizarre pitch issues, where controls that weren't expected to affect pitch actually did cause pitch drifts. In this case the cause was that the grounds between the

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Argh... please disregard my last message. Your were onto it - the midi board was the source of a bunch of those issues.

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Hi Scott, thanks for your input.
I'll verify the PSU today. I suspected the Kenton board as well and removed the board and the issues are the same.? I've checked the installation for shorts or

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Thinking about this some more and the way it's behaving, it sounds like the
Kenton board may be the problem.
It's hard to imagine a non-Kenton unit displaying those mannerisms and all
of the items

Re: CS80 woes after storage
Those are some weird issues. As always, step 1 is to verify power. Use a
meter to check for voltage and ripple or better yet use a scope.
+15, -15, +10.6, -6.5, +8.5 should all be pretty close. If

CS80 woes after storage
Hi CS80 gurus, owners and fans.
I have a CS80 with Kenton midi that I have owned since 2012 and recently put into storage for three years. The synth was working fine prior to storing but now there

Hi Mike,

Just a few additional words. I was really struggeling with the resonance, it always collapsed when I dialed it to the specs, but not on every voiceboard, some made it collapse

Re: How long can your CS80 go until the need of recalibrating the oscillators?
Hi.
I have had 3 CS80s in the studio, once they have settled in for a few days,
I do the complete calibration. I calibrated all three once a year, but just

Re: How long can your CS80 go until the need of recalibrating the oscillators?
Honestly it should have gone for more. Selling the dream of owning a CS-80 with a view of downtown Los Angeles is right out of the film Blade Runner. This experience is completely priceless.
