Nope, although it would be fairly easy to add: just tap the K and TR 
inputs to the M cards (probably want to buffer them). You can get all 8 
CVs on the SH card and the 8 Gates on the KAS board.  As usual, I take 
no responsibility if you blow up your synth!

Well, the voltage levels could be an issue.  The Yamaha has a gate that 
goes between +15v and -15v.  A diode may be all that's needed.  However, 
the CV is linear (Hz/v). Can the Kenton handle this?

Sitting under a CS-60 :^)  Seriously, that's about the only place.  
After a year, I just got original legs for my CS-80, but they've had 
some corrosion over the years, so I need to re-finish them this weekend.
