Yamaha CS80

I don't know why you did that.  All you had to do was get a Kurzweil midiboard and hook it up to the Prophet 08.


Also, the Prophet 08 supports Poly aftertouch Midi IN only.  So you can control the aftertouch like a CS80.  You just need that Kurzweil controller.  Mono aftertouch is a waste.  Poly is the only way to go.
