  Is this what yours looked like: http://www.matrixsynth.com/CS60mod.gif.  This is on mine.  I actually really, really like it and leave it on most of the time.  The sound is much fuller layered but obviously you get cut down to 4 voices.  Mine came this way, so I couldn't help implementing the mod myself.

    In my CS60, such a mod was done.
    The Gate signals were simply connected together in pairs (with a switch),
    apparently
    forming some weird wired-OR.
    In a 3rd switch position, the Gates were connected in two quadruples,
    obviously
    aiming at a two-voice, 4-note stack.
    First thing I did was getting rid of this modification.
    It _sort_of_ worked, but not really perfectly. Probably becaus eof the
    comlex
    voice allocation in the CS-Synths.
    The right way to do it, IMO, would be like this:
    In 4-Voice mode, use the output pin for the 5th Gate as an input pin with
    the right logic level
    (look up CS-50 and CS-60 schemos for details), and connect Voice board 5's
    CV to
    Voice board 1's CV, 6 to 2, and so on.
    Disclaimer: I have *NOT* done this myself, I do not really recommend it
    (otherwise
    I would have done it on my CS-60), and apart from this mail, I won't be of
    much help
    if you want to do this in yout precious instrument.

    JH.
