Re: CS80 Vanishing voices mystery
Well. Good news.? I was thinking that there could be a cold solder joint somewhere because it reacted to the heat. So I did reflow the joints at IC13 and IC2 and around. And it worked! That's kind of stupid really but it did. Might be helpful for someone in the future... Anyways thanks again ?for your help guys!
PS. Doug is appearing always out of the thin air if someone needs the chips lol. Good to have you! - And don't worry - I have checked your website in the beginning of this thread - just in case!

Re: CS80 Vanishing voices mystery
Thanks Nicolas. The CP5 is there, TR63 also but there is no signal from EG at TP2. There is no output at pin 3 of EG and nothing at pin 3 of IC2(VCA) and no output (pin 8 ) from it so no wonder TP2 is dead...to be continued..

Re: CS80 Vanishing voices mystery
one thing to check also on cs-80 ! if you slide the modules chassis up and down a lot ,,, check at the black wires junction that there is no broken or corroded wires or on the verge of breaking? ?. On mine moving up and down the rack a lot , the main? GND 2? black got broken? ( +8.5V/-6.5V ) .. so the supply lost ground reference ,,? the synth was working but the positive and negative rails were moving ( floating )? in parallel up and down moving the keyboard controls levers . That was a bitch to debug ,, it is not evident to see a broken wire at that location ,, there are so many grouped there .
for your problem : you have output on pin 8 of IC5/CP5? , but cannot control VCA/IC6? when triggered . Have you checked if you receive the trigger signal at TR(63) ( broken/corroded/cold solder ) . if yes? check your EG signal? scope/meter TP2 if yes them funky final vca IC6?
You seem to be in control of that bug , you are not far from a solution , nice work DUDE !? check for cold solder joint with freeze mist (were talking about heat related bug )?
remember that the trigger is for both voices so if the other voice is working it is not the trigger circuit .? check for trigger signal first , could be a corroded or broken wire ( white as i remember ????) so many colors .?
hoping IG00159 is good ,, there is plenty of VCA out there but way less IG159?

Well, one of my voices just died as described. Took it out, checked but it started to work again so impossible to trace the cause. Now when i have installed the voice card back it died again lol... No output on 0 terminal (out) Now its really dead. I have traced the problem to the IC2 (the EG amp). It has no output. When i turn the VR17 more (initial level) the voice is sounding so I think the card is mostly ok...the problem is envelope / trigger related (TRG boards??). I will investigate more tomorrow.

Re: CS80 Vanishing voices mystery
the vcos are? on? sockets ! try cleaning the pins ,, just beware of static , you could do that with all socketed ic on the voice board ,, .? most of the problem i ad with mine was due to that problem .?
good luck hoping it is just that !

My CS80 had this problem for some time now and I'm starting to think it might be heat-related. So some voices tend to randomly go dead especially in the bank 1. It is difficult to diagnose because when I take the card out to inspect they sometimes come back....When I screw the card back sometimes they go dead again. Also when I leave my synth on ant it's hot some voices die and come back again when cold..... I live with it but I would like to get rid of this issue once for all. Did you guys had the same problem before? Maybe it is not M card problem at all but TRG board for example?

Hi
I have a CS80 that need a voice card or parts and repair. If anyone knows where I can get parts or knows of a good tech in the Chicago,Milwaukee area I would appreciate the connection.

It’s just possible. I haven’t gotten any real use out of it lately, and we may have to move from this house in the next couple of years but sadly I wouldn’t be able to take it along. I know I’m gonna have to sell the beast at some point. Contact me offline if you want to discuss.?

I have to depart with my CS80.
Good shape, everything works. Some maintenance, tuning and setting can make it even better. Original stand, pedal, score stand, wheels in original soft case. Original Owner’s manual, Service Manual & big folders full of other documents printed from internet.
11111 USD, buyer has to arrange pick up and delivery.
I’m in Japan near Nagoya.
Best regards.

Re: Need A Black Key - CS80
Hi David, and thanks for the reply. And thanks for your website, it's been invaluable!
I gave the nice guys at Studio Electronics a call, they had the keys but they seem to have recently disappeared. :( Oh well!
Best,
Scott

Hi Scott.
Welcome to the group!? When I read your question, my first reaction was “not a chance!”. ? However, I thought of a couple of possibilities.? First, the guys at Studio Electronics () dismantled / dismembered a CS80 many years ago for a project to portablize it.? It was never finished and they sold most of the guts on eBay about a year ago.? They might still have some of the keys around.? Another idea, assuming you’re just talking about the plastic key top, is to get a cheap 3-D printer and make a new one!? If you scanned the existing ones and could print up new ones, you might even have a nice, little business!
Good luck,
? David
Hello all, Scott here (synthRodriguez) and new to the group. I recently bought a CS80 project machine which will soon receive attention.?One of the black keys took a hit at some point; it has a pretty good chunk out of it. Would someone have a spare they would be willing to sell? Thanks! Scott in Ohio
