Subject: [yamahacs80] CS-80 aftertouch issues

Hi,

Maybe someone can send me in the right direction here.

I'm having certain notes that play with full aftertouch (as per the touch response settings) no matter how lightly the key is pressed. If I disable all touch response via the flippers those notes are no longer modulated but are louder in volume than the rest of the notes (keyboard control level seems to be inactive or stuck on high). Also by playing another key in tandem with these " wild" aftertouch keys kills the unintended modulation but the volume difference still seems to remain.
I've also lost touch response on most of the keys(recent).

Wild touch response notes- C1,Eb1,F#1,A1,C2

Functioning touch response notes- C#4,D4,Eb4,E4,F4,F#4

All other keys have no touch response


These issues just cropped up

Prior to these issues I had a few wild notes in the third octave that gave full aftertouch while playing tandem notes (kind of opposite to what is occurring now).
All other notes seemed to respond correctly.

I'm not a tech so if I can provide clearer information please let me know.


Thanks! Love this List!
