  In sustain I , the order that you release notes alters the rotation of
  oscillators...

  A new note will take the oscillator that has been "available"
  the longest time...

  Held notes will not be stolen if there is an available released
  oscillator...

  once all notes are held, any additional note will steal the oscillator
  that has been helds longest...

  A CS80 quirk is oscillator 8 will not be triggered in the rotation
  unless another oscillator is held at the time its turn comes up....and
  the pitch at time of release does not follow the modulator to the
  destination....only notes held continue with pitch bend and portamento
  cycle.

  in sustain II, the new trigger will cancel the releasing sounds of the
  available oscillators.It still rotates between the oscillators but the
  type of mode makes it appear last note stolen because the pitch
  assigned to the new oscillator through  portamento, start from the
  point of the last oscillatorplayed...if all notes are held,
  additional triggering will steal the note held longest .

  Hi all
  I ask your kind help in explaining the difference between "Sustain" I
  and II.
  A first question: what is the method of stealing the notes with CS80
  in Sustain I, I mean, how the notes are stealed when all voices are
  assigned when Sustain I is applied? Is it "steal the oldest note"?
  And what about the Sustain II? Does the method change to "steal the
  last played note"?
  Question is: if the KAS assigns to newest note all the time, why the
  envelopes do retrigger in "Sustain I" ?
  Please, Kent or Chris or anybody skilled, the patents or documents on
  JH's site don't help me, can you give me a simpleexplaination?
  Thanks for your care.
  Max
