Yamaha CS80

Great info! Thanks for finding out about the strange jump between presets, who would have thunk it?

Sure, ask Kenton :^) Ok, I did, and I got the answer and tried it
out. Program changes 1-14 select the sound for tone I. Program
changes 17-30 select the sound for tone II. It makes it a little
strange to program from a master keyboard or sequencer since you have
to send two program changes for a single channel.

I also got an answer to my question about the CS80 being left in a
weird state (hung notes, portamento on) after playing/stopping a MIDI
file on my PC driving the CS80:

Me:

Kenton:
Yes it responds to all notes off (CC#123) and reset all controllers
(CC#121) messages (which will reset sustain and portamento amongst
other things).
