Yamaha CS80

80 Lovers

Does anybody have any idea how feasible it is to install one of 
those midi9/Gulbransen midi kits on an 80? These were 
intended for pianos and rhodes I believe.

http://www.midi9.com/

Kyle Jarger told me that he had seen an 80 once that had a kit 
like this installed. My main concern would be how it affects the 
existing hardware, and whether it affects the existing aftertouch 
sensors, etc. They claim that it is an optical sensor that does not 
interfere with the action of the key. So it sounds like it's just a 
matter of finding the place to stick it.

If you wanted the 80 as a controller, this seems a safer bet than 
trying to interface with the rather esoteric scanning already in 
there.

Anyone? Thanks!

Cheers
