Huh.  I never realized that. Bummer!  Do the two manuals have velocity?

Very cool!  So to have the real-time programming of a CS80, I'd need to
get six of these boxes, mount them in a giant frame and connect them in
place of a tone card for each voice section!  That would totally blow
away the Jellinghaus programmer for the DX7 
(www.synrise.de/guests/lorenz/coll/jellinghDX.html).
