 It will remain more in tune if it lies flat....as you would play
 it.....
 
 It is a mistake to use the castors on the back side of the synth....
 
 Rolling it on it's upright edge is the biggest culprit  resulting in
 tuning problems..

 Hi everyone,
 
 I currently have one of my CS80's opened up and am working on a couple
 of faulty voices. Something occured to me, as I am looking at the 'M'
 boards closely. It is well documented that moving the CS80 can throw
 it out of tune because the type of preset controls used to tune the
 synth are prone to vibration effects. It occured to me that virtually
 ALL the presets on the 'M' board are of similar or even the same type
 and therefore prone to the sameproblem. That would mean that not only
 the tuning would suffer from continued movement but all the VCA and
 VCF calibrations as well..!
 
 I wonder which would be the safest plane to move the CS80 on?
 
 I am asuming that leaving it standing on it's castors (as opposed to
 lying it flat ie: the same plane as when it is on it's stand) would be
 the best.
 
 Anyone with any ideas on the subject?
 
 Cheers all,
 TOM
