Yamaha CS80

For me, these controls are unusable. It's like a monophonic 
behaviour. I don't want sustaining notes from the upper half of the 
keyboard to be influenced (sudden change in filter-cutoff or volume) 
by notes played on the lower part. I never understood why people 
worship these 4 keyboard control sliders in the reviews I read. I 
have all 4 controls centered everytime....
And playing in sustain mode II is not my thing.
