Re: CS-80 key trigger problem and the fix

2010-05-15 by mborish_2000

I think that I might have the same problem.  My keybed acts funny from the top key down to the C#.  It will trigger, somewhat strange noises, if I have another key pressed in a lower octave.  Is this the same problem?  How did you troubleshoot it and fix it?
