Yamaha CS80

The CS80 at Audities in Calgary has the 3 buttons.. to my knowledge
its not a proto:

the 3 buttons are:

EXP
EXP/WHA
WHA

the 3 button versions must be the very early ones or something.

> To my knowledge, the three-button model was a prototype only. I´ve
seen a prototype that has a split block of preset selectors as well as
a keyboard that ends with a C sharp. Another one I´ve seen has all
preset selectors in one colour (in a contemporary ad, featuring also
the GX-1 and the GS-1/2). I guess these models were rushed out in a
hurry in order to have something to show at various music fairs,
probably they weren´t even playable at all.
