Re: [yamahacs80] Is CS80 actually self-oscillating or I have another problem?

2013-05-23 by The Old Crow

CS filters cannot self-oscillate; they are wired with external 
feedback limiting on the resonance control VCAs inside the IG00156s.  
You might be hearing chorus unit clock noise.  Or a noisy FET somewhere 
leaking a VCO signal. My CS80s are noisy in this regard, probably due to 
age more than anything.  --Crow

I\ufffdve noticed this playing presets like brass with all the brilliance up. Do you guys have the same effect or there is something wrong with my CS80?
