Yamaha CS80

David,
   
  If you happen to do another MIDI retrofit for someone's CS-80, please give them the option of selecting where they want that red MIDI button to go.  I have regretted putting mine in the same spot where you drilled Scott's, especially when I discovered there was enough wiring to place the button in a less conspicuous place in the back panel next to the midi ports. It would have preserved the original cosmetic appearance of the machine.   I laughed at the comments in the blog about that drill, but felt a twinge of regret, too. (Seeing that picture on the web brought back long-buried anxieties.       )

          Hi all.

I just finished installing a Kenton MIDI kit in a group member's CS80.
Do not try this unless you're very comfortable hacking around inside
these things!

I went slowly, taking a lot of pictures on the way. I'll set up a web
site soon, but Scott, the owner, has been bloging the install here:

- yes that's me holding the drill.

and here:

It all worked the first time, and I've got it hooked up to my
MIDIBoard. I'm starting to get the hang of the set-up mode and got it
to responds to poly aftertouch. One thing I don't understand is the
program change. Sending MIDI program changes from 1 through 14 goes
through all the presets for tone I. I can't figure out how to change
the presets for tone II. Can anyone who's used this give me a hand?

Thanks,

David
