Yamaha CS80

you are experiencing some of the features of the cs60s 80s... in sus 1 the releasing portions are controllable by the scaling.... if you have the Low portion of the keyboard with less vca and a brighter filter, those attributes will be added to the releasing stage....  things not able to be modulated upon release in sus 1 are pitch (ribbon)...  if you play a chord in the middle and let it release and play the high zone with a VCA boost and a VCF cut, that will affect the middle hanging notes the same way....

I use my CS80 like this rhythmically to create a manual type of sequence playing... playing rythmically in and out of lower and upper regions

Hi,


I'm not certain that the sustain functions are working correctly on my CS-60. It seems as if the notes in Sustain I are being cut off when they are not supposed to be.


Here is one environment where I can hear something odd:


1) I close down the low pass filter and set a long release on the panel (2-3 seconds at least)


2) I then play a chord and then hit a short note on the lowest C (picked only because it will make the oddity more noticeable). 


3) I would expect that hitting this lowest C would NOT kill the chord as it is is releasing, since in Sustain I all releases are independent. BUT it DOES kill off the entire chord.


4) Next issue is that if I quickly hit a middle C key while listening to the final moments of the release from the low C (which killed off the other chord), this causes the first hit low C note to suddenly get louder AND the chord that was previously cut off returns (provided the release is still within its originally set time frame/trajectory), and it even sounds like its filter is opening again.


Is this weird behavior, or is this how Sustain I should work?


I should note that the ribbon is currently removed for repair, in case that somehow affects release times (not sure why it would though).


Thanks DT
