Re:Yamaha CS series

Hi David,

Thanks.
   I'm especially fond of the CS-80 poly- aftertouch for triggering 
pitch modulation. Since a lot of what I do is electronic throwing in a 
CS-80 pad or lead just makes it sound very organic all of sudden with 
notes modulating independently of each other(plus it's never perfectly 
in tune- a good thing). I've had people ask me many times " what is 
that instrument"? I hope to put up some synth stuff on the website real 
soon. I've got a remake of Burt Bacharach's "This Guy" up at  
moogspaceport@yahoogroups.com. No CS-80 on that one but lots of CS-60, 
Arp Quadra and Pro-soloist. It's my "Doctor Bombay" project. There is a 
DVD for the song where we use a lot of the vintage stuff that I need to 
convert to a quicktime movie and post. If anyone is interested maybe 
I'll post it to my .mac site in the next few weeks.

And Scott: I'll get to your questions soon about wiring etc.
