Key Coder ( LSI )

Key Coder ( LSI )

2004-08-17 by kent_spong

I was told by John Price of Kenton Electrnics that the reason the 
key coder LSI IC goes from voice 1-7 and bake again to 1 leaving 8 
until you hold down two keys together was because when they were 
designed they were ment for the Yamaha organs of the time. The 8th 
channel was left clear for the pedal board assingment. I don't know 
if this is true or not but the more I think about it the more it 
seems to make sence. (maybe)

Rant of the week:
Seeing a ad for a Yamaha CS80 for sale and then finding out when you 
phone it that it is a 80cc step though moped. AHHHHHHHHHH!
